Mauritius Government of Mauritius 5 Rupees 1.10.1918 Pick 16. Quite simply, the finest example of this middle denomination from the earlier series of Mauritius. Embossing from the letterpress serial numbers and date are heavy and easily seen. These early notes imitate the style of contemporary notes, with steel plate designs and intricate anti-counterfeiting designs. Though no printer's imprint is seen, these were undoubtedly printed in Britain and then delivered to the African islands to be stamped with the signatures and then issued. An excellent and very enjoyable example rescued from commerce by an astute collector. PMG About Uncirculated 50 EPQ. From the Feeling Good Collection HID08701242017
Estimate: 6000-8000 USD
