Interesting fact

The 50 Maloti coin featuring Moshoeshoe II (also known as Moshoeshoe I) from Lesotho is interesting because it was issued in 1980 as a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not meant to be used as regular currency, but rather as a collector's item. Despite this, it is still considered a legal tender in Lesotho.
