| Additional information |
Seychelles gained independence from Britain on June 29, 1976, and this coin belongs to the first sovereign coinage issued by the new republic — a series designed specifically to replace the colonial issues that had circulated under the British administration. The independence coinage was prepared in advance, with the Royal Mint handling production despite the political transition away from British rule.
