Comment
Part of a 10-coin 2014 "African Wildlife" set struck by Ceca de MontesclarosInteresting fact
The 1000 Kwacha (Suricate) 2014 coin from Zambia is unique in that it features a suricate, a small, wild cat native to Africa, on its obverse side. This coin is a non-circulating coin, meaning it is not meant to be used as regular currency, but rather as a collector's item. The coin is made of Nordic gold plated stainless steel and weighs 29 grams. The use of Nordic gold plating gives the coin a distinctive color and durability. The suricate is a lesser-known animal, making this coin a fascinating addition to any collection.
