Mauritius
Discovered by the Portuguese in 1505, Mauritius was subsequently held by the Dutch, French, and British before independence was attained in 1968. It has one of Africa's highest per capita incomes.
Mauritius was formerly part of Isles de France et de Bourbon under French rule. Mauritius passed to British rule in 1814 and became independent in 1968. Its first coins under British rule were issued in 1822 but undated. We show a silver proof 10 rupees of 1981.
