| Reverse description | The large numeral '10' dominates the centre of the plain field, with the word 'MAURITIUS' arcing along the upper periphery flanked by small decorative rosette stops. The denomination 'TEN CENTS' curves along the lower left, and the date '1952' follows the lower right of the scalloped border, the entire legend separated by small ornamental dots. |
