10 Rupees Mauritius Chamber of Commerce and Industry

The Mauritius Chamber of Commerce and Industry, founded in 1850, is one of the oldest such bodies in the Indian Ocean region. This 2000 issue commemorates its sesquicentennial — 150 years of organized mercantile representation on an island whose economic history runs through sugar, textiles, and the gradual pivot toward financial services.

Commemorative silver 10-rupee pieces from Mauritius in this period were struck in relatively modest quantities for collector distribution rather than circulation.
