| Obverse description | Central field bears the Arms of Ceylon: a lion passant holding a sword, enclosed within a circular beaded border surmounted by a crown. Below the central device, a scrolled ribbon banner carries the bilingual legend in Sinhala and Latin script. The word TRIAL appears vertically along the right margin of the square flan, confirming the piece's status as a trial strike. The design is struck on a square flan with rounded corners in stainless steel. |
