| 备注 |
Ceylon's small-denomination government currency notes of 1942 were a direct consequence of the Japanese advance through Southeast Asia. With coin metals urgently diverted to the war effort and the threat of invasion a genuine operational concern, the government issued paper fractional currency as an emergency stopgap. The 50 Cents note was part of that series.
A lesser-known detail: the British authorities maintained contingency plans to demonetize Ceylon's currency rapidly if the island fell, a policy mirroring actions already taken in Malaya and Burma to prevent enemy forces from exploiting local money supplies.
