Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of King Sobhuza II, who ruled Eswatini (formerly known as Swaziland) for 60 years, from 1921 to 1982. The coin's design features an image of the king on one side and the Eswatini coat of arms on the other. The coin's silver content and unique design make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists and enthusiasts of African history.
