Description
The Lilangeni is the official currency of Eswatini, a landlocked kingdom in Southern Africa. It is pegged at par with the South African rand and both currencies are legal tender within the country. The Central Bank of Eswatini issues banknotes and coins, which bear the portrait of King Mswati III and national symbols.
The Lilangeni is subdivided into 100 cents, though low‑value coins are rarely used. The name means "the people’s money" in siSwati. The currency is often referred to by its plural form, emalangeni. Despite its small size, the Lilangeni plays a crucial role in domestic transactions and is interchangeable with the rand at a 1:1 exchange rate.
