The 1796 date places this note in the precise administrative gap following the Dutch surrender of Ceylon to Britain in February of that year — the VOC had effectively collapsed as a functioning commercial entity, and British forces took control of the maritime provinces before a formal colonial apparatus existed. Notes issued in this transitional period carry dual institutional weight almost by accident: the VOC framework was still the only available template, so incoming British administrators simply continued issuing under modified authority rather than starting fresh.
George Gregory's signature as Registrar anchors the note to the British Military Administration period, before the Crown Colony of Ceylon was formally constituted in 1798.
