| Opmerkingen |
The Colonial Bank of Mauritius Bourbon and Dependencies was a short-lived institution operating under British colonial authority following the capture of the Île de France from Napoleon's forces in 1810. The name itself encodes the transition: "Bourbon" refers to Réunion, briefly renamed île Bourbon under the Restoration, and "Dependencies" swept in Rodrigues and the Seychelles under a single administrative umbrella that never functioned with much coherence in practice.
P#S103 is among the earliest paper instruments issued under British rule on the island, predating any stable local currency framework. The French piastre and Spanish dollar were still circulating alongside British sterling, and notes of this type were issued into a monetary environment of considerable confusion. Survivors are extremely rare — the bank itself did not outlast the decade.
