[QUOTE="Cachecoins, post: 4695016, member: 111237"]Wow! Thanks for showing that group collection. I do also have the King George III 2 Stivers coin now as well, not in as good of condition though. I guess this is a good place to add this one as well. Ceylon 5 rupees 1957 coin celebrating 2500 years of Buddhism. A Buddhist moonstone motif on the obverse with procession of animals elephant, horse, lion and bull and a procession of sixteen geese with lotus flowers hanging from their beaks. On the reverse Sri Lanka / Five Rupees / Buddha Jayanthi. Engraver the great Bernard Sindall. At this time it was no longer a colony. It was an independent Ceylon but had yet to officially become Sri Lanka. [CENTER][ATTACH=full]1154073[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1154074[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1154075[/ATTACH][/CENTER][/QUOTE]
