Interesting fact
The 50 Cents coin from Sri Lanka, also known as Ceylon, featuring George VI and minted in 1943, is unique in that it was made of Nickel brass, a metal alloy that is resistant to corrosion and has a golden color. This is different from the more commonly used cupro-nickel or copper-nickel alloy used in many other coins. The use of Nickel brass in this coin adds to its distinctiveness and may make it more valuable to collectors.
