ceased in 1899 and did not restart until the nineteen century, with silver coins not produced
again until 1934, when ¼, ½ and 1 rupee coins were introduced. In the forties,
cupro-nickel 10 cents were issued replacing silver .

which did not feature the portrait of the monarch
but that of Sir Seewoosagur

rupee, and cupro-nickel 1 and 5 rupees. Cupro-nickel 10 rupees were introduced
