Comment
Of the circulation coinage, 3,512,000 were minted in 1964 and 3,488,000 were minted in 1965.Interesting fact
The 1 Shilling 1964 coin from Zambia was the first coin to feature the country's national emblem, the eagle, on its obverse side. This design change was a departure from the previous coinage that featured the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. The eagle symbolizes freedom, courage, and strength, which are core values of the Zambian people.
