| Comments |
The Government of Seychelles currency notes of this period were issued under direct colonial administration, with London handling both policy and production. Thomas De La Rue's involvement was routine for British colonial territories — the firm held a near-monopoly on such commissions across the Empire during the interwar decades.
The series ran across an unusually long window for a single design, suggesting low replacement demand consistent with the islands' tiny population and limited commercial activity. P#5 is the high denomination of the set, which makes circulated survivors proportionally rarer than the lower values.
