CEYLON: George III, 1760-1820, AE 1/2 stiver, 1815, KM-80, Pr-92, elephant left, a pleasing mint state example, PCGS graded MS62 BN. An Order in Council dated April 1, 1814 authorized a silver and copper coinage for Ceylon to the extent of 10,000 rixdollars in silver and 200,000 rixdollars in copper. The silver coinage was to consist of one denomination and the copper coinage of five. On December 1, 1814, the Royal Mint, London, received orders from the Treasury to strike the coinage. For the copper coinage, although dies were prepared by Thomas Wyon for a ¼ stiver, only three denominations, the 2, 1 and ½ stiver were struck for circulation. The metal for this Ceylon coinage was obtained from demonetized English halfpence. All coins struck bear the date 1815.
