Interesting fact

The 5 Cents coin from Seychelles, which was minted between 2016 and 2022, features a unique design that showcases the country's rich marine life. The coin's reverse side depicts a hawksbill turtle, a species that is native to the waters surrounding Seychelles and is known for its distinctive shell pattern. The turtle is surrounded by a circle of waves, which symbolizes the ocean that surrounds the island nation. The coin's design not only highlights the beauty of Seychelles' wildlife but also serves as a reminder of the country's commitment to protecting its marine environment.
