| Obverse description | Central field bears a crowned cartouche or shield device surmounted by a royal crown, within which the denomination is inscribed in two lines. The legend CEYLON arcs above the crown, while CURRENCY arcs along the lower border. The motto DIEU ET MON DROIT appears below the central device, referencing the British royal motto. The overall design reflects the British colonial authority over Ceylon, executed in a neoclassical engraving style consistent with early 19th-century Royal Mint practice. |
