Obverse description	The central vignette presents the Coat of Arms of Mauritius flanked by statues of Queen Victoria and Sir William Stevenson set before Government House in Port Louis. Ornate guilloche underprint patterns frame the composition, with the denomination and issuer title rendered in intaglio lettering. The overall design reflects a classical engraved style typical of mid-to-late twentieth century De La Rue productions.
