| Aanvullende informatie |
Ceylon's copper 5-cent pieces of this period were struck at the Royal Mint in London and saw hard use across the island's plantation economy, where small transactions in tea and rubber districts depended heavily on low-denomination coinage. The Colonial Office periodically adjusted issue quantities in response to complaints from merchants in Colombo about coin shortages — a chronic problem throughout the 1870s and 1880s.
KM#93 spanned twenty-two years across multiple contracts, and examples struck in the earlier part of the run show noticeably different alloy color from later pieces, reflecting variation in copper sourcing rather than any official composition change.
