Mauritius 10 cents Republic Coinage Queen Elizabeth PR69 PCGS CuNi coin 1971

This 1971 Mauritius 10 Cents copper-nickel coin is an impressive Proof issue from the country’s early post-independence coinage, certified by PCGS at the high PR69 DCAM grade. The distinctive scalloped shape gives the coin an instantly recognizable profile. The obverse features a right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II wearing an ornate crown and necklace, with carefully rendered hair and the surrounding royal title. The reverse presents a bold central numeral 10 framed by MAURITIUS, TEN CENTS and the date 1971, with small decorative separators completing the restrained composition. Mauritius became independent in 1968 while retaining Elizabeth II as head of state, placing this issue within an important period of the island nation’s monetary history. Its copper-nickel composition, Proof manufacture, strong Deep Cameo contrast and near-flawless PCGS PR69 DCAM certification make it especially attractive for collectors of Mauritius and Commonwealth coinage.
