Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Cent Victoria coin from Sri Lanka (Ceylon) is that it was minted during a time of great change and transition for the country. The coin was issued during the reign of Queen Victoria (1870-1901), a period of British colonial rule in Sri Lanka, which had a significant impact on the country's economy, culture, and politics. The coin's design, featuring the image of Queen Victoria, reflects the colonial influence and the country's status as a British colony at the time.
