Seychelles Banknotes Catalog

The history of banknotes in Seychelles reflects the economic and cultural evolution of this Indian Ocean archipelago. Since its independence in 1976, Seychelles has issued several series of banknotes, each representing unique aspects of its natural and cultural heritage.

Current banknotes in circulation

The current Seychelles banknotes were introduced in 2011 and are characterized by their colorful design and local motifs. The series includes denominations of 25, 50, 100 and 500 rupees, each with images of the islands' endemic flora and fauna. The 50-rupee bill, for example, features a giant Aldabra tortoise, while the 100-rupee note shows a sailfish, highlighting the importance of marine biodiversity to the country.

Historical banknotes and landmarks in notafilia.

Prior to independence, Seychelles used banknotes issued by the Government of Seychelles under British administration. An important milestone was the introduction of the Seychelles rupee in 1914, replacing the Mauritian rupee. In 1983, a commemorative series was issued to celebrate the 10th anniversary of tourism in Seychelles, highlighting the growing importance of this industry to the country's economy. Another notable series was that of 1989, which introduced advanced security measures such as metallic threads and watermarks, significantly improving protection against counterfeiting.
