SHRI LANKA BRONZE QUARTER PENNY

 
Low Mint 1890 British Colonial 1/4 Penny

This Quarter penny was created late in the reign of Queen Victoria (but shows a decidedly young empress) by the British Empire who held Shri Lanka as a colony. It was a British crown colony for more than a century, but gained independence February 4, 1948 and is now a Democratic Socialist Republic with a linguistically and religiously diverse population.
