Got these in the post today (from two different sellers, hence why the half & one rupee's have a later date) & thought you might like to see them, the designs for both the half & one rupee were still used once the Queen's portrait dissapeared:

Front


Back


My favourite is the Quarter Rupee

I like the lower denominations due to the colour and the quarter rupee, it looks very regal!

Thanks, they came out better than I hoped (they have tarnished quite a bit, especially the 2 cent). Also I think that Quarter Rupee coin would have worked over here in the UK. There is one coin I have missing, a 10 Rupee one but this seems to be a one of commemorative for the independance of Mauritius in 1971, will have to keep a look out for it.

Very nice coins. I like the designs.
