Not listed in "Sri Lanka Currency of Recent Times 1938-1985" by T. M. U. Sallay Book states 1971 were the last coins to bear the Armorial Ensigns of Ceylon. Also stated in outer cover of the 1971 proof issue. The Museum Circular No 1 however lists the same mintage under both Ceylon and Sri Lanka for 1972. Since this is probably a duplicate entry by error removed listing for Ceylon 1972 1r and 50c coins. 1r 70 72 50c 68 69 70 72 25c 68 69 70 10c 70 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
