Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 2007 Cricket World Cup, which was held in the West Indies. The coin features an image of a cricketer in action on one side, and the Sri Lankan coat of arms on the other. This coin is unique because it was the first time that Sri Lanka had issued a commemorative coin in honor of a sporting event. Additionally, the coin's brass plating gives it a distinctive golden color that sets it apart from other coins in circulation.
