| Obverse description | The Ceylon Coat of Arms occupies the central field, featuring the Sinhala lion passant holding a sword in its right forepaw, set within a circular wreath of petals and surmounted by a royal crown. The arms are enclosed within a beaded inner circle, with a decorative scroll ribbon at the base bearing the country name in Tamil and Sinhala script. The trilingual legend reading the country name in Tamil, Sinhala, and English appears around the periphery within a beaded border. |
