The Central Bank of Seychelles has issued several redesigned series since its establishment in 1978, and this 2013 note belongs to a family that consolidated the bank's post-independence identity after decades of incremental revisions. De La Rue's involvement with Seychellois currency goes back to the earliest post-independence issues — the relationship is among the longer-running printer-issuer pairings in the Indian Ocean region.
Pick 46 retains cotton substrate at a time when many comparable small-island issuers had already migrated to polymer, a deliberate choice given the humidity and handling conditions typical of tropical circulation.
