正面描述	Central field bears the large denomination numerals '48' above the abbreviation 'ST' (for Stivers), all rendered in bold raised characters within a radiating sunburst pattern of fine lines and pellet dots. The circular legend 'CEYLON GOVERNMENT 48 ST' runs around the periphery in Latin lettering, separated from the central device by an inner ring of pellets. The entire design is enclosed within a milled border of fine dentils.

附加信息	Ceylon passed to British administration in 1796 after the Dutch East India Company's collapse, but the island's monetary supply remained a chaotic mixture of Dutch colonial issues, local coinage, and imported specie for years afterward. The 48 Stivers was part of a series of emergency countermarked and newly struck pieces authorized to rationalize that mess, bridging Dutch accounting conventions — the stuiver being a Dutch fractional unit — with British colonial administration before sterling coinage eventually displaced the lot.
