| Opschrift voorzijde | THE GOVERNMENT OF CEYLON Promises to pay the Bearer on Demand the Sum of TEN RUPEES Colombo, 1st. September 1928. FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF CEYLON COMMISSIONERS OF CURRENCY. |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | Printed in red-brown, the reverse is dominated by a central rectangular vignette enclosed within an ornate dotted and scroll-work frame, showing a Ceylon elephant standing among tall palm trees against a lightly engraved landscape background. The surrounding border is filled with elaborate floral and foliate arabesque ornaments in the same colour, giving the design a rich, symmetrical appearance characteristic of De La Rue's late Victorian and Edwardian engraving style. |

| Opmerkingen |
Ceylon's P#24 series sits in a narrow window of British colonial monetary administration — the Currency Board system that effectively tied the rupee to sterling and left Colombo with little control over money supply. The Government of Ceylon, rather than a central bank, remained the note-issuing authority well into the independence period, which is why these bear a governmental rather than a banking imprint.
De La Rue's production records confirm London printing throughout this series. The 1925–1928 date range reflects sequential issue batches rather than a single print run, and signature varieties exist that help date individual specimens more precisely.
