About this banknote
The Government of Ceylon issued this 1 rupee banknote in 1942. This series was introduced during World War II, a period when many colonial currencies were adjusted for wartime economies and logistics. It was part of a broader initiative to stabilize the currency during this tumultuous time.
The front side of the banknote features a portrait of a prominent figure. The reverse side displays an image of an elephant with its mahout amid palm trees, highlighting local fauna. This banknote has the catalog identifier Pick 34a and is printed in multicolour, exemplifying typical design elements of the era.
