The Seychelles Monetary Authority was itself a transitional institution — established in 1978 after independence to replace the colonial Currency Board, it was absorbed into the newly created Central Bank of Seychelles in 1983. This note falls squarely in that five-year window, making the issuing authority's name a reliable dating tool on its own.
Bradbury Wilkinson had printed currency for British colonial and post-colonial territories for over a century by this point, and the Seychelles relationship was no exception to that pattern. The New Malden facility handled the full series.
