| Reverse description | The numeral '10' dominates the center field in large, bold relief. The legend 'MAURITIUS' arcs across the upper portion of the reverse, flanked by decorative rosette stops, while the written denomination 'TEN CENTS' and the date '1947' are arranged in a curve along the lower periphery, each element separated by raised dots. The overall design is clean and uncluttered, well-suited to the scalloped coin format. |
