| Obverse description | A detailed intaglio vignette of a Seychelles Kestrel (Katiti / Crécerelle des Seychelles) perched on a branch occupies the right half of the note against a warm golden-amber underprint with fine guilloche patterns. To the left, a holographic security patch bearing the national coat of arms and the numeral 500 is set within a blue iridescent field, alongside a central vignette panel with insects including beetles and flies arranged around a DNA-helix motif. The denomination «500» appears in large intaglio numerals at upper left and lower right, with trilingual value inscriptions in English, Creole, and French along the right margin. |
