Ceylon Ice & Cold Storage Co. Ltd. operated one of the island's earliest mechanized cold storage facilities, supplying ice to Colombo's hotels, hospitals, and the colonial administration. Company-issued store tokens and fractional paper notes of this kind circulated as internal currency among workers and at company stores — a common practice on Ceylon plantations and industrial concerns in the late colonial period, where small-denomination coinage was chronically scarce.
The Ragama facility designation is specific enough to suggest this note was tied to a single site's store account system rather than the company's broader operations.
