| Reverse description | A Mauritius Flycatcher (Terpsiphone bourbonnensis) rendered in naturalistic detail, perched on a leafy branch above a woven nest containing eggs, occupying the center of the field. The country name MAURITIUS arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 1000 RUPEES curves along the lower periphery, all enclosed within a beaded border. The design, engraved by Christopher Ironside, is executed in high relief against a mirror-polished proof field. |
