CEYLON: AR fanam token, ND (1814-15), KM-83, a wonderful quality mint state example! PCGS graded MS64. These tokens were struck during a period in which there was an extreme coin shortage. They were struck locally and declared current by a British Government notice dated 16 July 1814. Minting continued until September 1815. Since the tokens supplied a real want they remained in circulation. These tokens were receivable at the Treasury and at all Kachcheries. The introduction of the tokens also helped curb the export of coins and encouraged the return of private hoards of coins back into circulation.

Estimate: 75-100 USD
