Comment
Part of a 10-coin 2014 "African Wildlife" set struck by Ceca de MontesclarosInteresting fact
The 1000 Kwacha (African Buffalo) coin from Zambia, made of Nordic gold plated stainless steel, has a unique feature - it has a chromium content of 10%. This makes it stand out from other coins, as chromium is not commonly used in coinage. The chromium content gives the coin a distinctive shine and durability, making it a sought-after collector's item.
