| Reverse description | A traditional woven wire fish trap rendered in fine detail occupies the centre of the field, set against a stylised background of undulating water waves extending across the entire field. The legend FAO WORLD FISHERIES CONFERENCE arcs along the upper periphery, with the date range 1983 ~ 84 inscribed to the right. The denomination 25 RUPEES appears in the lower exergue, flanked by the FAO emblem to the left and the United Nations symbol to the right, both rendered as small circular devices. |

The World Fisheries Conference was convened by the FAO in Rome in 1984, making this 1983 Seychelles issue one of the advance commemoratives struck to coincide with pre-conference preparatory activity — a common practice among smaller island nations seeking both philatelic revenue and international visibility. For Seychelles, fishing rights and the economic management of its vast exclusive economic zone were genuinely pressing policy matters, not ceremonial ones.
