Channel: Monetized History
Date: 2021-01-25

The current Maloti banknotes feature three of Lesotho's kings. One, Moshoeshoe I, not only created a nation but an entire people from the chaos of the Dutch-Anglo-Zulu conflict. Moshoeshoe II was exiled from his country twice and presided over the independence of Basutoland. His son Letsie III sits on the throne today. The symbol of their royal house is a crocodile despite the fact that there are no crocodiles in Lesotho.
