- Year: 1963.
- Inscriptions: Obverse: value in Sinhala and Tamil with “ONE RUPEE · 1963” at the bottom, surrounded by vegetal ornaments. Reverse: heraldic lion with sword within a central circle, with a crown on top and the legend “CEYLON” on a bottom ribbon.

1 Rupee nickel coin with a design representative of Ceilán's national identity after independence, highlighting on the reverse the lion armed with a sword, a traditional symbol of the country, surrounded by a circular frame with radial details and crowned at the top. The obverse presents a multilingual composition with the value in Sinhala, Tamil and English, accompanied by ornamental elements inspired by vegetation. The specimen shows high preservation, with good original luster, relatively clean fields and well-defined reliefs, with slight contact marks in line with its grade. This issue reflects the assertion of national symbols and the country’s cultural diversity in the post-independence era.
