Mauritius Government of Mauritius 5 Rupees 1.10.1918 Pick 16 PMG Very Good 10. Featuring the final serial numbers within the A-prefix range, this date is seldom seen, as it had a short lifespan. In 1920, a relatively large number of notes were printed by Thomas de le Rue and delivered to Port Louis, and the redemption of older notes began. Although extensive circulation is seen, the scarcity of the older date makes this example desirable. A Chinese notation is seen on the back, which confirms the interesting racial diversity of this small island in the Indian Ocean.
