Interesting fact

The 10 cents coin featuring Mswati III (2nd portrait) was the first coin to be introduced in Eswatini (formerly known as Swaziland) after the country's independence from British colonial rule in 1968. It was minted in 1995 and remained in circulation until 2009. The coin's design features the king's portrait on one side and the national emblem on the other. The use of copper-nickel in the coin's minting process gives it a distinctive silver-colored appearance.
