Interesting fact
The 5 Cents coin featuring King Mswati III's second portrait was the first coin to be introduced in Eswatini (then known as Swaziland) that did not feature the image of Queen Elizabeth II. This was a significant change for the country, as it marked a shift away from its colonial past and towards greater independence and self-determination.
