Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Bank of Mauritius, which was established in 1967. The coin's design features the bank's logo and a depiction of the island nation's diverse culture and heritage. The use of silver and the relatively low mintage of 2,000 pieces also make it a unique and valuable collector's item.
