| Reverse description | A naturalistic depiction of a tropical fish — identified as a type of grouper or rock cod native to Seychelles waters — rendered in detailed relief at centre, facing right, with coral and marine vegetation elements framing the lower field. The legend INDEPENDENCE 1976 arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin capitals, while the denomination CENTS above the numeral 5 appears prominently in the lower central field. The composition, designed by Suzanne Danielli, celebrates both the natural heritage of the Seychelles and the nation's independence, with the fish's tail fin position near or far from the letter I constituting a noted die variety. |
