| Reverse description | The central field features a stylised design of a crescent-shaped bird in flight with sweeping wing motifs, behind which rises a detailed rendering of the Clock Tower of Victoria, Seychelles — a miniature replica of London's Big Ben — adorned with decorative lamp posts and festive streamers. The dates 1976 and 1986 flank the central design in the lower field, commemorating the tenth anniversary of independence. The bilingual legend LENDEPANDANS · 29ZEN · LANNIVERSER · INDEPENDENCE · 29JUNE · ANNIVERSARY arcs around the upper periphery, while ROUPI 1000 RUPEES appears along the lower border. The composition celebrates the date of Seychelles' independence on 29 June 1976. |

| Additional information |
The Seychelles gained independence from Britain on June 29, 1976, though the new republic lasted barely a year before France-Albert René seized power in a coup on June 5, 1977 — ousting the democratically elected James Mancham while he was attending a Commonwealth conference in London. This commemorative marks a decade since independence, which in practice meant a decade largely under René's single-party socialist state, the Seychelles People's Progressive Front.
