| 表面の説明 | The colonial arms of Mauritius appear as a central vignette at upper centre, flanked by two serial number panels — one at upper left with the denomination in English (TEN RUPEES) and one at upper right with the denomination in Tamil and Hindi script. A bold letterpress legend THE GOVERNMENT OF MAURITIUS spans the central band, with a promise-to-pay text in cursive script below. At the foot of the note, two signature panels carry the printed titles of the Collector of Customs, Commissioner of Currency (left) and Receiver General, Commissioner of Currency (right), above a lower denomination panel reading Rs 10. |

The Government of Mauritius issued this note under direct Crown authority rather than through a commercial bank — an arrangement that persisted well into the twentieth century and reflected the island's unusual colonial financial structure, where no single chartered bank held sufficient local trust to act as sole issuer. The 1913 start date places the earliest examples squarely in the period before the First World War disrupted sugar revenues, which were the backbone of Mauritian commerce.
The series ran across nearly two decades, meaning printed dates and signature combinations vary considerably. Identifying the precise issue year matters for attribution — later dates within the range are generally scarcer in circulated grades.
