| Obverse description | Right-facing bust of King Moshoeshoe II occupying the central field, portrayed wearing a traditional Basotho woven hat adorned with a feather and a decorative necklace with pendant, rendered in high relief with fine sculptural detail. The portrait has a bearded effigy with an authoritative, dignified expression characteristic of commemorative medallic portraiture. A beaded inner border frames the design, with the legend arcing around the upper periphery reading BOIPUSO LESOTHO INDEPENDENCE, and the royal name MOSHOESHOE appearing along the lower arc, flanked by small star stops. |
