| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing portrait of King Sobhuza II within the decagonal coin field, depicted in a naturalistic, detailed relief showing the monarch wearing traditional attire and a feathered headdress. The legend KINGDOM OF SWAZILAND arcs along the upper periphery, while the name SOBHUZA II is inscribed along the lower periphery in bold capital letters. The portrait is rendered in a realistic sculptural style with fine detailing of facial features, beard, and dress. The flat, polished field surrounding the effigy accentuates the proof-quality strike. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Sobhuza II holds the record as the longest-reigning monarch in verified history, having ascended to the Swazi throne in 1921 and ruled until his death in 1982. This issue, struck to mark his 75th birthday, was produced at a moment when Swaziland's post-independence coinage was still young — the country had only introduced the lilangeni in 1974, the same year this piece was minted. The denomination itself, 7½ emalangeni, reflects the decimal-adjacent fractional values the Central Bank employed for commemorative purposes in the early series.
