| 正面描述 | A vignette at right centre depicts a harbour scene with a sailing vessel and mountainous coastline in the background, rendered in intaglio in brown tones. The denomination ONE RUPEE appears in a dark panel at centre, flanked by multilingual inscriptions in Tamil and Hindi script. The note bears a guilloche border and carries the serial number repeated at upper left and lower right, with two manuscript signatures of the Commissioners of Currency below the central text block. |

| 背面描述 | The reverse is plain white paper with no printed design or vignette, consistent with the emergency low-denomination issue practice of the period. A handwritten notation appears in the lower centre area. |

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.
