正面描述 Within a beaded border, the numeral '24' appears prominently at centre within an inner circle, indicating the denomination of one twenty-fourth of a Rixdollar. Surrounding the central motif, the circular legend 'GOVERNMENT:CEYLON.' runs between the inner and outer beaded circles, identifying the issuing colonial authority. The design is plain and typographic in character, reflecting the utilitarian struck coinage of early British Ceylon.

附加信息

Ceylon came under British administration following the 1796 seizure from the Dutch VOC, but the monetary situation inherited was a patchwork of Dutch stivers, local fanams, and VOC coppers — none of it coherent. The decision to issue a rixdollar-based coinage was a practical colonial fix, anchoring the new currency to the familiar Dutch unit still in daily use by the population.

The piedfort — struck at roughly double the standard planchet thickness — was not intended for circulation. Piedforts of this issue were produced as presentation or record strikes, almost certainly for colonial administrators or the Royal Mint's own archive.
