| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is dominated by a large multicoloured guilloche rosette composed of concentric oval lathe-work patterns in green and pale pink tones, creating an elaborate engine-turned design. A central rectangular cartouche, framed by fine geometric latticework, bears the issuer's name in two lines. The overall composition is entirely ornamental, with no figurative imagery. |

The 1940 Mauritius 1 Rupee was issued under wartime emergency conditions, part of a broader effort across British colonial territories to maintain currency supply as global shipping and trade routes came under severe disruption. Thomas De La Rue printed this series in London throughout the conflict, though getting notes safely to the island was itself a logistical problem the Colonial Office had to manage carefully.
Pick 26 is reasonably available, but examples with sharp corners are harder to find than the census suggests — heavy tropical circulation took a predictable toll on the paper.
