| Opmerkingen |
Private trade tokens on paper were a recurring feature of colonial Ceylon's plantation and company economy, where small change was chronically scarce and employers often filled the gap with their own scrip. The Ceylon Ice and Cold Storage Company's Ragama store notes are a narrow and poorly documented series — "type 2" distinctions within the issue are identified primarily by minor typographic differences rather than any change in issuing authority or redemption terms.
Ragama, north of Colombo on the main rail line, made it a plausible distribution point for a refrigeration-dependent business in 1901. Whether these circulated beyond the immediate workforce is unrecorded.
