The East India Company's Ceylonese rixdollar issues are among the earliest printed paper currency to circulate in South Asia under British colonial administration. Ceylon had inherited the rixdollar as its unit of account from the Dutch VOC period, and the Company simply adopted it rather than imposing a new denomination — a pragmatic concession to an established monetary habit on the island.
These notes are printed on an unusually heavy stock, closer to light card than conventional banknote paper, which is why the composition is catalogued as cardboard. Surviving examples frequently show edge splits rather than the fold wear typical of thinner issues — the stiffness that preserved the paper's surface worked against it at the margins.
