| Aanvullende informatie |
Galle, the fortified port city on Sri Lanka's southwestern coast, was the dominant maritime trading hub in the Indian Ocean for much of the Dutch colonial period. The fort itself — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — was originally built by the Portuguese in 1588 and later massively expanded by the Dutch East India Company after they seized it in 1640. Sri Lanka's regional commemorative circulation series, of which this is a part, was introduced to acknowledge the country's distinct historical and geographical identities rather than issue purely symbolic coinage.
AISI 430 ferritic stainless steel was adopted for the higher-denomination circulating coins partly for its resistance to the humid tropical climate.
