Ceylon, 48 stuivers 1801 (?), KM77.

Obv: *CEYLON GOVERNMENT around denomination
Rev: Elephant looking left above date

Since the coin is dated 1801, it is not ancient. As it is inscribed in Latin characters, it is not Islamic. If you don't know anything about the coin, post it on the board "Unidentified coins".
