Mauritian Banknotes

Mauritian banknotes have a unique feature that is immediately apparent: their value is written in three alphabets. English on the front, Tamil and Devanagari on the back. This is a direct reflection of an island where descendants of Indians, Africans, Chinese, and French coexist.

A rarely seen notaphily in Spain

Mauritius is not a country that automatically appears in Spanish collections, and therein lies part of its interest. Its rupees have a careful design, with portraits of national figures such as Renganaden Seeneevassen and Moilin Jean Ah-Chuen, and scenes of the island on the reverses.

The colonial and the modern

Issues prior to independence in 1968 bear the effigy of Elizabeth II and are considerably more difficult to find. Modern issues from the Bank of Mauritius are affordable and available in high grades.
