备注

Ceylon's colonial government issued paper currency unusually early for a British dependency, and this 5 Pounds note predates the establishment of any local banking infrastructure capable of handling redemption with confidence. The Colonial Treasury in Colombo was effectively guarantor, but the practical reach of a high-denomination note in a predominantly agricultural, barter-adjacent economy was always limited. These circulated almost exclusively among European merchants and colonial administrators.

Perkins, Bacon & Petch had developed their steel-engraving and siderographic transfer techniques precisely to defeat counterfeiters, and Ceylon was among the early colonial administrations to commission them. The long span of this issue — nearly three decades without redesign — speaks to the low volume of production rather than any particular confidence in the note's durability.
