Comment
Of the circulation coinage, 3,777,000 were minted in 1964 and 3,223,000 were minted in 1965.Interesting fact
The 2 Shillings 1964 coin from Zambia has a unique feature - it has a reversed effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, with her face facing to the right instead of the usual left. This was a deliberate design choice made by the Zambian government to differentiate their coins from those of other Commonwealth countries.
