| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 35th anniversary of Seychelles independence from Britain in 2011, this miniature gold piece belongs to a category of small-denomination commemorative fractions produced primarily for the collector market rather than any meaningful circulation purpose. The Central Bank has issued similar fractional gold commemoratives sporadically since the 1990s, with mintages typically kept low enough to sustain collector premiums.
At 1.24 grams, the piece corresponds to a 1/25 troy ounce format.
