| Obverse description | The central field bears the full national arms of the Republic of Seychelles, featuring a quartered shield displaying a palm tree, a tortoise, three birds, and ocean waves, supported on either side by two marlins rampant. Above the shield, a frigate bird is depicted as the crest. A ribbon below carries the national motto FINIS CORONAT OPUS. The circular legend REPUBLIC OF SEYCHELLES arcs along the upper periphery in Latin script, and the date 2006 appears in the lower field beneath the arms, with two raised dots flanking the legend at the lower sides. |

Issued to mark Elizabeth II's 80th birthday in 2006, this Seychelles commemorative belongs to a well-worn tradition of Commonwealth periphery mints producing celebratory coinage for British royal milestones — revenue-generating issues aimed squarely at collectors rather than circulation. The Central Bank of Seychelles issued relatively few commemorative types in copper-nickel during this period, making the KM#127 attribution straightforward but the actual distribution figures difficult to pin down from public records.
