About this banknote

The Central Bank of Ceylon issued the 10 rupees banknote on June 5, 1963, as part of a series introduced between 1956 and 1963. This series marked a transition in Sri Lanka's currency design, replacing earlier notes that featured the British monarch's portrait with the Armorial Ensign of Ceylon.

The banknote measures 145 x 79 mm and was printed by Bradbury Wilkinson and Company in the United Kingdom. The obverse features the Armorial Ensign of Ceylon on the left, with the denomination "Ten Rupees" inscribed. The reverse also displays the denomination "Ten Rupees." The watermark is a Chinze.
