| Additional information |
Issued as part of the United Nations International Year of Shelter for the Homeless, observed in 1987, this commemorative was produced in response to a global campaign coordinated by the UN Centre for Human Settlements. Sri Lanka was among dozens of nations that issued coins tied to the program, though most did so in silver for collector markets. The copper-nickel choice here suggests a circulation-oriented issue rather than a purely numismatic one.
