| Additional information |
Ceylon's nickel-brass coinage of this period reflects the country's gradual withdrawal from the sterling area following independence, with the Central Bank asserting greater control over monetary design and composition from the late 1950s onward. The shift away from cupronickel in smaller denominations was partly driven by metal cost pressures common across newly independent South Asian states during this decade.
KM#130 was rendered obsolete when Ceylon became the Republic of Sri Lanka in 1972 and undertook a full recoinage.
