Comment
Part of a 10-coin 2014 "African Wildlife" set struck by Ceca de MontesclarosInteresting fact
The 1000 Kwacha (African Buffalo) coin from Zambia, issued in 2014, is a unique and interesting coin due to its unique plating composition. While most coins are made of a single metal, such as copper, nickel, or silver, this coin is made of copper-nickel with a silver plating. This means that the coin has a layer of silver on top of the copper-nickel base metal, giving it a distinctive shine and durability. The use of silver plating also adds to the coin's collectibility and numismatic value, making it a sought-after item among coin collectors.
