| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse is framed by an ornate interlaced vine border with four circular coin-like medallion vignettes at each corner, each bearing a tree or floral motif. The central field carries the large numeral "10" flanked by the Dutch text "goed voor" and "tien Ryxds:", with trilingual inscriptions in Dutch, Sinhala, and Tamil. Two manuscript signatures are present in the central area, one of which appears as a flourished handwritten authorization. |

| Opmerkingen |
By 1796, the VOC was functionally bankrupt — the company was dissolved on 31 December 1799 and its debts assumed by the Batavian Republic. Notes issued from Colombo in these final years circulated under an institution that was already collapsing administratively, with supply chains disrupted and local confidence in VOC paper severely eroded. The Ryxdaalder denomination itself was a Cape and Indian Ocean currency unit, distinct from European monetary conventions.
The official stamp as the sole security feature reflects the ad hoc nature of late-VOC monetary management in Ceylon, which the British had already seized from the Dutch earlier that same year.
