| 备注 |
Ceylon's small-denomination government notes of 1942 were a direct consequence of the Japanese advance through Southeast Asia. The fall of Malaya and the threat to Ceylon itself triggered a wartime decision to issue low-value paper fractions to replace coins, which were being hoarded and — in the case of base metals — potentially redirected toward the war effort. The Japanese bombing of Colombo and Trincomalee in April 1942 made these pressures acute.
The Government of Ceylon, rather than the Ceylon Currency Board, acted as issuer — a distinction that reflects the emergency administrative arrangements of the period.
