Seychelles 25 Cents {1993-2012} 1S FEATURING front: Black Parrot The Seychelles black parrot, Praslin parrot or kato nwar (Coracopsis barklyi) is a sombre-coloured, medium-sized parrot endemic to the Seychelles. Historically, it has been treated as a subspecies of the lesser vasa parrot, although it shows morphological, ecological and behavioural differences. Recent phylogenetic research indicates that the Seychelles population has a long history of isolation and may be basal to the rest of the Coracopsis group. It is the national bird of the Seychelles. back: Arms with swordfish as supporters The coat of arms of the Republic of Seychelles shows a shield, in which a giant tortoise is located on green grounds.
