The 21st century Catalog Numbers were generated logically based on
type and Variety, don't match the Pick Numbers which seems to have been
assigned illogically based on incomplete information on CBSL Bankbote issue.
Ceylon Blue Book indicate the existance of Rs500 and Rs1000
currency notes at end of 1887 and 1889 and their removal in 1890
The dates of Currency issue before 1909 only based on images of
currency from collectors and posted on the Internet for Auctions
and is therefore probably incomplete.
The color of the Serial number changes in some of these older notes
and need to be investigated,
Dates in this list as used on modern notes YYYY-MM-DD and not as in notes
older than 1955 where the month was named and older than 1974 where leading
0 in numeric month and day was not printed.
Names of persons as in Signatues used on currency
Signatures not printed in 1885 are seen in 1st January 1887 issue. (CBSL)
Transition needs checking.
Signatures for Pre 1909 notes were deciphered after obtaining
a list of commissioners of currency from 1885 to 1908.

The security features visible under UV-light on the early King Parakramabahu
