| Obverse description | The coat of arms of the Republic of Seychelles occupies the central field, featuring a quartered shield depicting a palm tree, tortoise, and stylized sea waves, supported on either side by a swordfish, with a white tropicbird displayed as the crest above. A scroll beneath the shield bears the Latin motto FINIS·CORONAT·OPVS. The circumferential legend REPUBLIC OF SEYCHELLES arcs around the upper portion of the coin, while the date 1978, flanked by decorative dots, appears along the lower periphery. |

| Reverse description | Two Seychelles Paradise Flycatchers (Terpsiphone corvina) are depicted amid the leafy branches of a tropical tree; one bird perches on a branch in the upper centre, while a second bird sits in a woven nest below, rendered in fine naturalistic relief. Elongated leaves and seed pods of the surrounding foliage frame the composition on all sides, filling the field with precise botanical detail. The denomination 1500 RUPEES is inscribed in two lines across the lower field in bold upright lettering. |
