Opmerkingen	Lesotho's currency has been pegged at par to the South African rand since the loti's introduction in 1980, a monetary arrangement formalized under the Common Monetary Area — which means this note, whatever its face value, was always exchangeable rand-for-rand at any South African bank. That peg has never broken. Dr. L.V. Ketso served as Governor of the Central Bank of Lesotho during a period when the institution was actively modernizing its note series. Thomas De La Rue's involvement dates to the earliest Lesotho issues, making this a long-standing printing relationship rather than a one-off contract.
