CEYLON: George III, 1760-1820, AR 96 stivers, 1809, KM-79, elephant left, PCGS graded AU53. In 1802 Ceylon was made a British Crown Colony, and, by the Treaty of Amiens with France, British possession of maritime Ceylon was confirmed. The first coinages struck for the island under British rule consisted of copper and silver, both minted locally. The silver coins commenced a little later than the copper, but like the copper, they were struck by contractors until the founding of the Ceylon Government Mint in 1811.

Estimate: 200-300 USD
