Bradbury Wilkinson printed Ceylon notes for decades, but by 1982 the political pressure to reorient toward domestic printing was building — Sri Lanka would eventually shift production to the Sri Lanka Security Printing Corporation, making late BW issues like this one transitional pieces in the country's printing history. The country had already changed its official name to Sri Lanka in 1972, yet the Central Bank retained the Ceylon designation until 1988, a bureaucratic lag that gives notes from this window an odd anachronistic quality.
P#95 runs from 1979 through to the final BW printings, with signature combinations being the key variable for dating within the series.
