| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stocky elephant facing left is depicted in the central field, rendered in a bold, somewhat stylized manner characteristic of early 19th-century colonial coinage. The date appears in the exergue below the elephant, separated from the main field by a horizontal line. A beaded border encircles the entire design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ceylon passed from Dutch to British control in 1796, but the monetary system inherited by the new colonial administration was a patchwork of VOC-era copper and locally struck dump coinage that satisfied almost no one. The 1/48 Rixdollar was part of a deliberate rationalisation effort, anchoring small transactions to the Spanish-derived rixdollar accounting unit the Dutch had already embedded in the island's commerce.
The three KM references reflect successive issues across the period, with variation in die details rather than a single continuous production run. Ceylon would not see a fully decimalized currency until 1872.
