Interesting fact
The 100 Kwacha (Gazelle) coin from Zambia, made of Silver (.999) and weighing 28.28g, is a non-circulating coin that was minted in 1998. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design of a gazelle, a type of antelope found in Zambia, on its obverse side. The gazelle is depicted in a naturalistic pose, with its head turned to the side and its body in mid-stride. The coin's reverse side features the Zambian coat of arms, which includes a shield with a golden eagle on top, surrounded by two African lions. The coat of arms is flanked by two ears of corn, symbolizing the country's agricultural richness. The gazelle design on the obverse side of the coin was created by the Zambian artist, Graziano Arricale, and it is considered a notable example of African wildlife art on a coin.
