Modern account-unit review

Seychelles developed its local rupee accounting from the inherited Mauritian rupee system: local issue began1914, sterling-based rules replaced earlier redemption rules in1936, and Mauritian instruments largely ceased locally in1947. Regional differentiation is supported by inherited unit, legal evolution and actual rupee deposit accounts. Neither issuer change alone nor identical exchange parity supplies the edge.

Inference C1137

Seychelles developed a separate local rupee issue from its Mauritian-rupee circulation; most Mauritian currency lost tender status in 1947. This gradual territorial separation is qualified.

Corrected interpretation: Revision 27 supplies a new evidence basis for R-V22-035. Regional differentiation is supported by inherited unit, legal evolution and actual rupee deposit accounts. Neither issuer change alone nor identical exchange parity supplies the edge. Replacement evidence: C1607.
