| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed maritime scene depicting a nuclear-powered submarine surfacing through open ocean waves rendered in fine relief, with spray visible at the conning tower. A military helicopter is shown in flight to the upper right, while a surface warship is visible on the horizon to the right. Stylised sonar wave patterns radiate from a point beneath the waterline in the lower field, suggesting underwater detection activity. Clouds are rendered in the upper field above the submarine. The date 2019 appears in bold numerals at the base of the design. |

| Additional information |
Seychelles has issued titanium coins periodically since the early 2000s, typically as collector pieces rather than circulating currency. Titanium's interference coloring — produced by anodization rather than applied pigment — allows mint technicians to achieve vivid surface hues that degrade predictably over time if handled, making raw, unhandled examples the only ones worth serious attention.
