Interesting fact

The 1 Cent coin featuring King Mswati III's second portrait, issued in 1995, was the first coin of the Swazi currency to feature the king's image. This was a significant change from the previous coinage, which had featured the country's coat of arms. The decision to include the king's image on the coin was seen as a symbol of the country's transition towards a more monarchical system, with the king holding greater executive powers.
