Prime Ministers for Malawi & Sierra Leone - should NOT be listed!

Prime Ministers for Malawi & Sierra Leone should NOT be listed as they were NOT ruling authorities!

@Xavier  only Queen Elizabeth II should be listed - for Malawi (1964-66) & for Sierra Leone (1961-71).

No Lilibet to be seen on these notes and coins. Seems like the PM´s  were in charge when choosing the design 😉

Should “elizabeth II” not be removed from the title of the banknotes?

Bram,

  Hastings Banda loved himself.

Queen Elizabeth II had the titles of Queen of Malawi & Queen of Sierra Leone.

South Africa never depicted the monarch on its notes, but she was Queen of South Africa nonetheless.

Hello,

https://en.numista.com/help/add-or-modify-a-ruling-authority-in-the-catalogue-192.html

Definition

The ruling authority is an individual head of state represented on numismatic or exonumia items (for example, Charlemagne). Heads of state are understood in a broad sense, including monarchs, regents, governors, lords, ranking nobles or clergy, leaders, officers, usurpers, etc.

@Xavier , have a look here;

& here;

Only Queen Elizabeth II should be listed for both Malawi (1964-66) & Sierra Leone (1961-71).

No doubt she was the head of state.

I'm just arguing she was not a ‘ruler’ based on the very specific Numista definition.

She was the reigning monarch for both countries.

Prime ministers are not rulers like monarchs are.

We have listed Queen Elizabeth II for Ghana - as she was the Queen of Ghana from 1957 to 1960.
