| Additional information |
By 1934, the Mauritius rupee had been pegged to sterling since 1876, with the island's currency managed almost entirely from London rather than locally. This particular issue was struck at the Royal Mint and forms part of a series that ran with minimal interruption from 1877 through the late 1930s, after which wartime silver shortages ended production of the denomination in this composition permanently.
