The Seychelles Monetary Authority was itself a transitional institution — established in 1978 after independence to replace the East Africa Currency Board arrangement, and superseded by the Central Bank of Seychelles in 1983. This note falls squarely in that five-year window, making the issuing authority's name on any note from this series an automatic dating bracket.
Bradbury Wilkinson had printed currency for the Seychelles through the colonial period as well, giving the series an unbroken production lineage even as the political authority above it changed twice in under a decade.
