| Opmerkingen |
The Government of Mauritius issued this 1 Rupee series directly rather than through a colonial bank — a distinction worth noting, as Mauritius had the Mauritius Commercial Bank operating from as early as 1838. Small denomination currency printing was considered a government revenue matter, and De La Rue held that contract for decades across British colonial territories in the Indian Ocean.
The ten-year window across 1919–1928 reflects serial replenishments rather than a single print run. Notes from the earlier years of the issue tend to surface in substantially worse condition, consistent with the heavy low-denomination circulation patterns typical of island economies where small notes take considerable wear before replacement.
