| 正面描述 | Right-facing draped bust of King Moshoeshoe II, wearing a traditional Basotho hat adorned with a feather and a beaded band, with pendant ear ornaments and a ceremonial necklace visible at the truncation. Four five-pointed stars are positioned symmetrically in the field, two to each side of the effigy. The legend 'LESOTHO 1969' arcs along the upper periphery, and 'MOSHOESHOE' is inscribed along the lower periphery, all within a beaded border. |

| 背面描述 | A ewe and her lamb are depicted grazing in a pastoral landscape, rendered in high relief within a recessed central field suggestive of a sunken cartouche, with a mountain silhouette visible in the background. The engraver's signature 'D. TURASELA' appears in small letters within the central design. The denomination '20 MALOTI' is inscribed along the lower periphery, while the legend 'F.A.O. KHOTSO PULA NALA' curves along the upper periphery, referencing the FAO food programme and the Sesotho motto meaning 'Peace, Rain, Prosperity.' Four five-pointed stars and a small lozenge ornament the flat border, all enclosed within a beaded rim. |

Issued in the same year Lesotho joined the FAO's campaign against world hunger, this piece was part of a coordinated international program that prompted dozens of newly independent nations to strike commemorative gold in the late 1960s. For Lesotho — landlocked, mountainous, and almost entirely dependent on South African labor markets — the FAO framing carried genuine weight. Agricultural self-sufficiency was not an abstract goal but an acute national vulnerability.
Moshoeshoe II had been installed as king only three years earlier, in 1966, the same year independence was granted from Britain. Mintage was extremely limited, produced primarily for collectors rather than circulation.
