Swaziland – 1968 – 1 Lilangeni – Sobhuza II – Independence Issue – 1oz Gold Proof – PCGS PR69 CAM

This is the extremely rare 1 Lilangeni Sobhuza II from Swaziland from 1968. There were a maximum of 2,000 pieces of this example, which was minted by the SA Mint on the same blanks/circles as the 1968 Krugerrand, but according to various sources, a large part of them were melted down. For this reason, this coin is especially popular among collectors and enthusiasts around the world.

What makes this specimen so special is that it has been graded and certified by PCGS as PR69 Cameo. This makes it one of the highest-graded Deep Cameo issues currently rated by PCGS worldwide.

On one side of the coin is the face value of the coin “One Lilangeni” and the year “1968”. In addition, you can find a lion, an elephant and a shield as symbols. The word “Siyinqaba” is written under the sign.

On the other side of the coin is the portrait of Sobhuza II, his name in writing and the inscription “Swaziland Independence”.
