1000 Rupees

De La Rue has printed Mauritian currency for decades, and this high-denomination note continues that relationship into the polymer-adjacent era — though it remains on cotton rather than following the regional shift toward polymer substrates seen elsewhere in the Indian Ocean. At 1000 rupees, this sits at the top of the standard circulation series, making it a natural target for counterfeit pressure, which explains the relatively dense security package for a note of this geographic origin.

The P#63 series spans over a decade of issue dates, meaning signatures vary across the run — at least two Governor and Managing Director combinations appear, and date-specific signature pairings matter to type collectors assembling a complete set.
