| Additional information |
Issued to mark the golden wedding anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip in 1997, this coin belongs to a wave of Commonwealth commemoratives produced for the occasion across multiple issuing territories. Mauritius, though a republic since 1992, retained the Bank of Mauritius as its commemorative issuing authority and continued producing royal-themed pieces for the collector market well after severing formal ties to the Crown.
