Thomas De La Rue printed the entire run of just over 12 million notes — a modest quantity for a country of Lesotho's size, and consistent with an economy where the South African rand circulates freely alongside the loti under the Common Monetary Area agreement. The loti is pegged one-to-one with the rand, which sharply limits the Central Bank's incentive to issue large volumes of its own paper.
Security on this issue is relatively light — watermark only, no metallic thread or color-shifting ink. That places it at the low end of De La Rue's contemporary production capabilities.
