Swaziland's independence on September 6, 1968 ended sixty years of British Protectorate status, and the new kingdom's first coinage was struck specifically to mark the occasion. Sobhuza II had already been paramount chief since 1921 — he would go on to reign until 1982, making him one of the longest-reigning monarchs in recorded history at the time of his death.
The .800 silver used for this issue was a deliberate departure from the cupro-nickel flooding Commonwealth coinage at the time, signaling something more than a routine circulation piece.
