10 Rupees

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.
