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, a period of significant political and social upheaval in the country. The coin's mintage also coincided with the country's transition from a colony to a dominion, which marked a significant shift in its relationship with Britain. Despite these changes, the coin remained a standard circulation coin and was widely used in everyday transactions.
