Bill of Exchange: 1869 Local Lithographed issue, 1d to 16s8d set of eleven in triplicate singles (First/Second/Third of exchange), each fine used, missing only 6s8d first, and 16s8d third, with additional 'thin paper' 4d trio and 2d 2nd. An exceptional assembly of these primitive local issues, this the closest to a complete set we have seen, with just two exchanges left to find for the 'holy grail' of Mauritius revenue philately!
