| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of the Republic of Seychelles occupies the central field, featuring a quartered shield depicting a tortoise, palm trees, a sailing vessel, and waves, flanked on either side by a rearing sailfish acting as supporters, with a frigate bird displayed above the crest. A ribbon below the shield bears the national motto FINIS CORONAT OPUS. The circular legend REPUBLIC OF SEYCHELLES arcs along the upper periphery, with the mint mark PM and date 2000 appearing in the lower field, separated by two small pellets. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the year 2000, this coin is one of relatively few commemorative strikes from the Seychelles — a nation whose domestic coin production has historically depended on foreign mints, with most issues contracted to the Royal Mint or private facilities abroad. The Central Bank issued it in copper-nickel rather than the precious metal versions common to millennium commemoratives elsewhere, keeping it accessible for domestic circulation.
