The P#39 series was issued under the revised Central Bank of Seychelles Act and reflects the institution's consolidation of monetary authority following earlier years of one-party state control under France-Albert René. The long date span — 1998 to 2010 — means multiple signature combinations exist across the run, and these matter to specialists: governor changes in that window produced at least two distinct signature pairings that catalog separately in some references.
Thomas De La Rue's involvement is unremarkable for the region, but the security thread specification for this issue is notably minimal by the standards De La Rue was applying to comparable denominations elsewhere in the same period.
