It\u2019s not the face value of the coin but it is what we call the intrinsic value of the coin or the embedded commercial value of the coin that makes it valuable. The coin shows the portrait of His Majesty, as well as the culture and tradition of the country,\u201d explained Mnisi.<\/p>\n<p>He said when people buy the coin, they buy the heritage of Emaswati.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the stalls that were toured by His Majesty included MTN Eswatini, Eswatini Observer, the University of Eswatini, Eswatini Electricity Company, Eswatini Tourism Authority, and Limkokwing University of Creative Technology stalls, to name a few.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/eswatini\">Eswatini<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Eswatini.
