Front: Hawksbill sea turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata), a critically endangered marine species found in Seychelles waters and protected under national and international law. The hawksbill is among the most iconic wildlife symbols of the Seychelles archipelago, historically threatened by shell trade and now a conservation priority. The turtle motif appears both as a watermark and as the central design element, representing the nation's marine biodiversity and environmental heritage.

Back: Central Bank of Seychelles headquarters building in Victoria, designed in modernist style and opened in the late 1970s following the nation's independence and establishment of its own central banking authority. The vignette at right depicts traditional Seychellois agriculture with a farmer tending coconuts beneath coco-de-mer palms, representing the foundation of the islands' economy. At left, workers sort and transport copra (dried coconut kernels), historically the principal export commodity of Seychelles before tourism development.
