Lesotho 1989 5 Maloti Pick 10a King Moshoeshoe II PMG 67 EPQ Superb Gem Uncirculated
This Lesotho Central Bank 1989 5 Maloti banknote is Pick P-10a, certified by PMG as 67 EPQ Superb Gem Uncirculated. The PMG holder identifies the note with watermark: King Moshoeshoe II, Signature #3, and serial number E957486. The EPQ designation confirms PMG’s assessment of Exceptional Paper Quality, while the 67 grade places this example firmly within the Superb Gem Uncirculated range.
The face presents King Moshoeshoe II at right, with the national coat of arms prominently displayed near center. The design combines blue portrait engraving with warm orange, yellow, and green geometric patterns, giving the note a distinctive late-twentieth-century African currency aesthetic. The denomination 5 Maloti appears clearly on the face, while the Central Bank of Lesotho is named as the issuing authority.
The reverse features a mountainous waterfall landscape, emphasizing Lesotho’s dramatic highland geography. Lesotho is often associated with its elevated terrain and mountain environment, and this scenic imagery connects the national currency directly with the physical character of the country. The reverse denomination is expressed as “Maloti a Mahlano,” meaning five maloti in Sesotho.
The loti was introduced as Lesotho’s national currency in the late 1970s and has historically circulated alongside the South African rand within the framework of the Common Monetary Area. Banknotes of this period therefore represent both Lesotho’s sovereign monetary identity and its close regional economic relationship with neighboring South Africa. Issues featuring King Moshoeshoe II also carry added historical interest because they reflect the monarchy’s continuing symbolic importance in Lesotho’s national identity.
Certified PMG 67 EPQ Superb Gem Uncirculated, this example combines exceptional certified preservation with strong national symbolism, an appealing portrait type, and an attractive scenic reverse. It is a desirable piece for collectors of Lesotho paper money, African banknotes, monarchy-related currency, graded world notes, and high-grade modern issues.
