50 Rupees Decade for Women

Issued to mark the United Nations Decade for Women (1976–1985), this coin was part of a broad wave of commemorative silver struck by smaller nations responding to the UN's global campaign for gender equality — a program that culminated in the 1985 Nairobi World Conference. Seychelles was among the more active participants in such international commemorative programs during this period, leveraging collector markets to generate foreign currency revenue.
