Interesting fact
The 1000 Kwacha (Titanic 1st obverse) coin from Zambia, made of Copper-nickel in 1998, features an error in the design. The ship depicted on the coin is not actually the Titanic, but rather a different vessel called the "RMS Olympic," which was the Titanic's sister ship. This mistake has made the coin highly sought after by collectors, and it is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item.
