| Additional information |
Issued to mark Seychelles' participation in the 2012 London Olympics, this coin is part of a broader wave of sterling silver commemoratives produced by small island nations whose mint relationships — typically with the British Royal Mint or Pobjoy Mint — made such programs financially viable. Seychelles has no domestic mint.
The 28.28g, .925 fine specification is the standard Commonwealth commemorative format used across dozens of Olympic issues from this period, meaning the coin was almost certainly struck in quantity for the collector market rather than circulation.
