| Reverse description | A large Triton conch shell (Charonia tritonis) is depicted in high relief at the centre of the field, dividing the inscription ONE RUPEE above from the numeral 1 below. The design is rendered in a naturalistic style with fine detail on the shell's spiral form and textured surface. The denomination is presented in both words and figures, emphasising the shell as the primary decorative motif. A reeded border frames the entire composition. |

The magnetic "a" variant of this type reflects a broader regional shift toward cheaper steel-core coinage that accelerated after the 2008 global financial crisis hit small island economies particularly hard. Seychelles had already undergone a dramatic IMF-backed currency reform in late 2008, floating the rupee after decades of a fixed exchange rate — a decision that briefly sent the currency into freefall before stabilizing.
