Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the visit of Pope Benedict XVI to Seychelles in 2005. It features an image of the Pope on one side and the Seychelles coat of arms on the other. It's a non-circulating coin, meaning it's not meant to be used as regular currency, but rather as a collector's item.
