Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Stuiver ND (1783) coin from Sri Lanka › Ceylon (1597-1972) is that it was made of copper, which was a common material used for coinage during that time period. Copper was chosen for its durability and resistance to corrosion, making it an ideal material for coins that were meant to be used extensively in daily transactions. Additionally, the use of copper for coins also made them easier to produce and mint, as it was a relatively inexpensive material compared to other metals.
