| Reverse description | The central field depicts two cricketers in dynamic play — a batsman in full forward defensive stance facing a wicketkeeper crouching behind the stumps, both rendered in fine relief. Below the central motif, the denomination is expressed as '1000' in large numerals, accompanied by the inscription 'ONE THOUSAND RUPEES' in Latin script, with equivalent legends in Sinhala and Tamil above. The upper portion of the field carries the bold legend '1999 CRICKET WORLD CUP' with the tournament dates 'MAY 14 – JUNE 20' below it. The names of the twelve participating nations are arranged in a continuous circular legend around the periphery, separated by dotted intervals and star devices, reading: SRI LANKA, WEST INDIES, ZIMBABWE, AUSTRALIA, BANGLADESH, ENGLAND, INDIA, KENYA, NEW ZEALAND, PAKISTAN, SCOTLAND, SOUTH AFRICA. |
