| Reverse description | A finely detailed rendering of the Coco de Mer palm (Lodoicea maldivica), endemic to the Seychelles, occupies the central field, depicted with its characteristic broad fan-like fronds spreading across the upper portion of the coin and large rounded nuts clustered at the base of the crown. The numeral 5 appears in large relief to the left of the trunk, with the denomination legend RUPEES inscribed to the right in the lower field. |

| Additional information |
The magnetic 5 Rupee was introduced as part of a broader cost-reduction shift across many island-nation mints in the late 2000s, replacing the earlier non-magnetic alloy with nickel-plated steel. KM#51a distinguishes it from its predecessor, KM#51, with the two types being externally identical — the magnet test is the only reliable field identification.
