| Beschrijving voorzijde | A tall coconut palm tree dominates the left and center of the field, depicted in a detailed engraved style with fronds extending across the upper portion of the token. The tree rises from a sandy shoreline with a coastal seascape rendered in the background. The legend 'KEELING- COCOS Is' appears in two lines to the right of the palm tree in the field, and the date '1968' is inscribed along the lower exergue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Cocos (Keeling) Islands plastic coinage was introduced by the Clunies-Ross family, who administered the atoll as a private fiefdom and maintained a company-store economy in which islanders — predominantly Cocos Malay laborers — were paid in this proprietary currency, redeemable only within the islands. The system effectively trapped wages on-island. Australian authorities eventually dismantled the arrangement in the early 1980s, buying out John Clunies-Ross and integrating the territory fully into the Australian dollar zone in 1984.
The plastic tokens were issued in multiple denominations across several colors; the 25-rupee piece in red sits at the higher end of the series.
