Depicts the coat of arms of Seychelles, country name above, date below. Mint mark below left.

The coat of arms of the Republic of Seychelles shows a shield, in which a giant tortoise is located on grounds. On the ground there is a coco de mer palm tree. Behind it there is a sea with two islands and a sail ship to be seen. The shield is enthroned by a helmet, on which a white-tailed tropicbird is located above waves. The shield is supported by two white sailfish. Beneath the shield the motto of Seychelles is stated: "Finis Coronat Opus" (Latin for "The End Crowns the Work").

Depicts symbols of time and direction: the upper part shows a clock with a single large hand and a candle inside, while the lower part displays a compass with the year "2000" on the left. A visual effect causes the year "1999" to change to "2000" when the coin is tilted from side to side.
