| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field features the Coat of Arms of Ceylon, depicting a lion passant holding a sword within a stylised sun-rayed roundel, surmounted by a dharma chakra and flanked by petals. A decorative ribbon scroll at the base bears the country name in three scripts — Tamil, Sinhala, and Latin — reading 'CEYLON'. The word 'TRIAL' appears vertically along the right inner edge of the square flan. The overall design is struck on a square flan with rounded corners, with a plain raised rim framing the composition. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ceylon's transition to decimal coinage in 1963 left nearly a decade of design and composition experimentation in its wake. This aluminium trial strike from 1971 sits just one year before the island's transformation into the Republic of Sri Lanka, a constitutional shift that rendered the entire Ceylon coinage series obsolete almost immediately after pieces like this were being tested.
