The Seychelles 2 cents of 1948 was struck in the final years before the postwar Colonial Development and Welfare Acts began reshaping British Indian Ocean territories. George VI's health was deteriorating sharply by this point — he would be dead within four years — and colonial bronze issues like this one were being produced with diminishing administrative attention from London. KM#6 had been running in the same basic form since 1948 replacements of earlier Edward VIII-era planning, and the Royal Mint struck these in small quantities befitting a granite-island economy with limited cash transaction volume.
