| Obverse description | Central field features the large numeral '96' denoting the denomination, rendered in bold relief within a plain circular frame. The circular legend CEYLON * GOVERNMENT arcs around the periphery, separated from the central device by a ring of raised beads. The overall design is stark and utilitarian, characteristic of Soho Mint colonial issues of the early nineteenth century. |

The periphery is bordered by a ring of raised beads, consistent with the Soho Mint's characteristic mechanical precision. |
