| Comments |
Swaziland's small economy meant the Central Bank leaned heavily on Giesecke & Devrient across multiple series — P#36 being one of several notes from this period produced in Munich. Sithole served as Central Bank Governor from 2006 until 2014, making his signature the constant across nearly a decade of Swazi currency production, while the countersignature rotated with successive Ministers of Finance.
Pick 36 runs a relatively long date range for a modern African note, suggesting the print runs were modest but spread out to manage costs.
