Swaziland's 20 Emalangeni series ran across a politically charged period — the kingdom formally renamed itself Eswatini in April 2018, making any note issued under the Swazi name a pre-renaming artifact by definition. The 2017 dated examples were among the last produced before that transition forced a wholesale rebranding of the central bank and its currency documentation.

Giesecke & Devrient have printed Swazi currency since the lilangeni's earliest issues, a relationship stretching back to the 1970s. The Leipzig press retains the contract through the Eswatini reissues, so the printer outlasted the country's own name on these notes.
