Add ruling authority of Eswatini [solved]

So, I'm a history nerd and made this list of the recent kings of Eswatini. It's only the two who have coins listed on Numista. Hope it is usefull :D

Ruling authority of Eswatini:
House of Diamini
Sobhuza II (1968-1982)
Mswati III (1986-date)

King Mswati III was King of Swaziland from 1986 to 2018, then he has ruled as King of eSwatini since 2018, when Swaziland's name was changed to eSwatini.

Hi Aidan
I'm aware of that. But it's technicly not the countrie's name nor the territory or a historical split in the country, which have been changed: Swaziland was already called Eswatini within the country. The king just asked the international community to use the endonym of the country (Eswatini) instead of the exonym (Swaziland) given by probably the Brits. Like the Ivory Coast vs. Côte d'Ivoire or Burma vs. Myanmar. That's simply a question of what a country/the goverment of said country, prefer to be called on the international stage, eg. at the UN and to the Olympics.

Exonym: What a country is called outside of the country by foreigners.
Endonym: What a country is called by people from the country/in the local or official languge.

Hope that clearify things
Regards

Hello
No coins seem to be in Numista since 2018 so no need to have eSwatini yet I think.
However, we have some banknotes from 1982-86, so I also added Mswati III as regent.

There is the 2018 10 Cents - the only coin with the new name so far;



The Regents of Swaziland were actually Queen Dzeliwe from 1982 to 1983 & Queen Ntfombi from 1983 to 1986.

King Mswati III was crowned in 1986.
