Interesting fact
The 1000 Kwacha coin features a unique design that showcases a map of Europe on one side and the Zambian coat of arms on the other. This design was chosen to commemorate Zambia's participation in the European Union's "European Cities" program, which aimed to promote cultural and economic ties between European cities and cities in other parts of the world. The coin's design is a symbol of the connection between Zambia and Europe, and it serves as a reminder of the importance of international cooperation and exchange.
