| Reverse description | A finely detailed rooster, symbolic of the Chinese Lunar Year of the Rooster, is depicted in bold relief at the center of the field, shown in a proud standing posture facing right with elaborately rendered plumage and tail feathers. The numeral 25 appears to the left of the bird in the lower field. The legend TWENTY FIVE CENTS curves along the lower periphery in raised Latin characters, and a continuous inner border of raised beads frames the entire design. |

| Additional information |
Seychelles introduced a redesigned circulation series in 2004, with the animal-themed reverses drawn from local fauna rather than the Chinese zodiac — making "Year of the Rooster" a curious designation for a coin with no meaningful connection to the Lunar New Year calendar. This piece was almost certainly issued for the collectibles market, targeting buyers who conflate the Seychelles name with exotic appeal.
