1783 - 1795 - Ceilon
Dutch VOC Copper Dumps
These coins were struck to meet the constantly increasing shortage of
small change. The minting of Dudus anywhere but at Colombo was
disapproved by Batavia. However, the Mint at Colombo was overtaxed to
be able to supply Jaffna and Galle with coining material before the
end of the sailing season. In agreement with the weight of the
Stuivers of Colombo, Stuivers were struck in Galle, Jaffna, from 1783
and Trincomalee from 1789 under the supervision of the local employees
of the Company
