Beskrivning
This is a British Ceylon 1 Cent dated 1923, issued during the reign of King George V.
It is catalogued as KM#107 / Numista N#1275. The type was struck at the Royal Mint in London in copper, weighing 4.57 g and measuring 22.4 mm. The 1923 mintage was 2,500,000 pieces.
The obverse shows the crowned bust of George V with:
GEORGE V KING AND EMPEROR OF INDIA
The reverse is one of the more distinctive colonial designs of the period, showing a coconut palm surrounded by the denomination in English, Sinhala and Tamil:
CEYLON · ONE · CENT
1923
The multilingual reverse reflects the population of colonial Ceylon, modern-day Sri Lanka. The portrait was designed by Edgar Bertram MacKennal, while the reverse design is credited to Leonard Charles Wyon.
This coin was issued when Ceylon was a British Crown Colony. George V's title “Emperor of India” also places it squarely within the broader British imperial monetary system of the early 20th century. Sri Lanka would remain under British rule until independence in 1948.
Your specimen is fairly attractive. I would estimate approximately VF30–XF40, probably around VF35. The crown, portrait outline and royal robes are still well defined, while the palm tree and multilingual reverse lettering retain substantial detail. There is definite circulation wear on George V's face and crown, but the surfaces have a reasonably attractive old brown patina without severe corrosion.
The 1923 isn't rare. Numista currently records indicative values of approximately $1.60 in VF, $1.60 in XF, $2.60 in AU and $5.80 in UNC.
For yours, I would estimate roughly 20–40 SEK at ordinary auction and around 40–75 SEK retail. It could perhaps reach 75–100 SEK in a well-presented colonial/world-coin listing, but materially higher prices would generally require a genuinely uncirculated specimen.
The strongest selling angle is therefore not rarity but the combination of British Ceylon, George V, “Emperor of India,” the multilingual Sinhala/Tamil reverse, and the palm-tree colonial design.
