| Obverse description | The obverse features the full coat of arms of the Republic of Seychelles prominently centered in the field, depicting a quartered shield bearing a palm tree, tortoise, and island seascape, supported on either side by two marlins, with a white-tailed tropicbird as crest above a wreath. A scroll below the shield bears the national motto FINIS CORONAT OPUS in raised Latin lettering. The legend REPUBLIC OF SEYCHELLES arcs along the upper periphery, while the date 2006 appears in large numerals at the lower field. The Pobjoy Mint mark PM is visible at the base of the coat of arms. |

Seychelles issued this piece as one of dozens of FIFA-licensed commemoratives produced by mints worldwide ahead of the 2006 Germany tournament — a licensing arrangement FIFA had refined into a significant revenue stream by the early 2000s. The coins were struck for collectors rather than circulation; Seychelles had no particular footballing connection to the event.
