Comments

Król Sobhuza II był naczelnym wodzem, a później Ngwenyamą Suazi przez 82 lata i 254 dni, co jest najdłuższym możliwym do zweryfikowania panowaniem jakiegokolwiek monarchy w historii.

Tarcza Nguni i dwie włócznie symbolizują ochronę przed wrogami kraju.

Lew reprezentuje króla, a słoń królową-matkę. Reprezentują one herb Eswatini.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

King Sobhuza II was the Paramount Chief and later Ngwenyama of Swaziland for 82 years and 254 days, the longest verifiable reign of any monarch in recorded history.

Nguni shield and two spears symbolize protection from the country's enemies.

The lion represents the King and the elephant represents the Queen-mother. They represent the Eswatini Coat of Arms.
