| Comments |
Mauritius introduced polymer banknotes progressively from 2013, but the 1000-rupee denomination arriving on this substrate in 2024 marks a particularly late conversion for the island's highest-circulation high-value note. De La Rue's SPARK Flow PRIME element — a color-shifting, animated optical device — is among the more technically demanding security features currently in commercial deployment, and its inclusion here signals a deliberate upgrade in response to documented counterfeiting pressure on the previous cotton-paper series.
Pick 66A designation suggests an early signature variety within the issue, likely tied to a change in bank governor or finance minister signatories shortly after release.
