| Additional information |
Issued to mark the July 1981 marriage of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer, this is one of dozens of Commonwealth commemoratives struck for the occasion — Mauritius among the smaller issuers. The Bank of Mauritius had only been issuing commemorative coinage since the mid-1970s, and this piece falls squarely in that early run of celebratory types produced for collector export rather than domestic circulation.
Mintage figures for this issue were modest, typical of Mauritian commemoratives from the period, most of which were sold through agencies like the Franklin Mint distribution network.
