Very cool presentation.  I really like the way you added actual photographs along side the coins! Keep it coming!

Fabulous coins!

Might the 2016 series be the only coins with a text in Creole?

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.

Reverse of the 1 cent coin.




The reverse of the 1 cent coin features a Gardiner's frog (Sooglossus gardineri).

The coins feature the names of their featured wildlife in three forms.

First you see the English name, followed by the name in Seychellois creole, and finally the scientific name.

Looks like French to me

The commemorative series from 1986 (independence anniversary), 1987 (liberation (= coup d'état) anniversary) and 1988 (central bank anniversary) also have text in Creole along with English.

A honey-combed texture appears on this product of the Pobjoy Mint.

Does anybody know why?

The picture might show a coin not removed from a BU set, this would be the texture of the plastic holder.

I see. That's an ingenious thought.
