Comments
(en) In 1942 in a selection process for the new type of coin to conserve metal for the war, a pattern was struck in Black Bakelite plastic in high relief. It was manufactured by a private firm and sent to Ceylon for evaluation. This pattern was not durable for circulation, and on 1942 September 8th, a bronze coin of half the original weight was selected for circulation.
