Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change in Sri Lanka, which was then known as Ceylon. The coin was issued during the reign of King Edward VII, who ruled from 1902 to 1910. During this period, Sri Lanka was a British colony, and the coin reflects this history, with the image of the king on one side and the Ceylonese crest on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting also speaks to the island's rich mineral resources and its strategic location along trade routes. Today, this coin is a valuable collector's item, offering a glimpse into Sri Lanka's rich history and cultural heritage.
