A limited edition of a silver commemorative coin of Rs10 denomination in proof condition was issued in January 2000 to mark the 150th anniversary of the Mauritius Chamber of Commerce & Industry (MCCI).
The MCCI, established in 1850, is the oldest non-profit institution representing the private sector in Mauritius. With the increase in the island's volume of trade during the first decades of British administration, the Mauritian business community felt the need for a formal representational and arbitration framework to foster the interests of the trading community and to settle disputes and conflicts arising in trade-related activities. The present-day Chamber originally came into being as the 'Chamber of Commerce'. It took on its present name of 'MCCI' in 1965 when the country was moving towards independence and was contemplating the diversification of its economy through appropriate forms of industrial activities.
