Help with a Rupee...

I recently received a 1 rupee coin from 1963 and I was trying to identify it and get more information on it.

It looks very similar to KM 136.1, however it has a different reverse.

My pictures are horrible:

In the picture above the writing on the right says "Ceylon"

Thanks for any help!

    It's KM# 133. Look under "Ceylon" in the Krause rather than "Sri Lanka". They formally changed the name in 1972.

    I can't believe it is that obvious...

    I've never heard of Ceylon, the country, before. I'll check when I get home, thanks!
