关于 Lesotho Loti
The Loti was introduced in 1980, replacing the South African Rand at par. However, the Rand remains legal tender, and the Loti is pegged to it at a 1:1 ratio.
'Loti' and 'Sente' are the Sesotho words for 'mountain' and 'cent', respectively, reflecting the country's nickname, the 'Mountain Kingdom'.
