Seychelles banknotes 10 Rupees note 1967 Queen Elizabeth II, Government of Seychelles

Obverse: Portrait of the young Queen Elizabeth II in profile at right, from a classic Dorothy Wilding photography. This profile of The Queen Elizabeth II might be regarded as a portrait specifically prepared for use on coins, which traditionally show the profile of the monarch. However, the issuing authorities that chose to use this portrait had previously used a design which included profiles of King George V and King George VI. In order to maintain the Thomas De La Rue designs into the reign of Elizabeth II, it was necessary to have a suitable profile of Her Majesty. This portrait of the Queen was also used on the banknotes from the Falkland Islands.
Reverse: Coat of arms of the Seychelles at center and the numeral value of banknote at left and right. Text: Government of Seychelles Ten Rupees.
Printed by Thomas De La Rue And Company Limited, London.

The coat of arms of the Republic of Seychelles shows a shield, in which a giant tortoise is located on green grounds. On the ground there is a coco de mer palm tree. Behind it there is a blue sea with two islands and a sail ship to be seen.
