| Additional information |
The Bank of Ceylon, named on this coin, is a state-owned commercial bank founded in 1939 — entirely separate from the Central Bank of Sri Lanka, which issues the currency. The naming distinction has caused persistent public confusion, a bureaucratic artifact of Sri Lanka's layered financial history that the coin itself does nothing to resolve.
