| Reverse description | A naturalistic, finely detailed effigy of the Dodo (Raphus cucullatus), the extinct flightless bird endemic to Mauritius, depicted standing in profile facing left and occupying the central field. The bird's plumage, hooked beak, and vestigial wing are rendered with meticulous sculptural detail by engraver Christopher Ironside. The upper circular legend reads 'MAURITIUS INDEPENDENCE', flanked by raised dots, while the denomination '10 RUPEES' appears in the lower exergual area, also flanked by raised dots. A beaded inner border surrounds the entire design. |
