Curiously, the 5 ZiG coin seems to use the exact same planchet as the 25 dollar coin released in 2008.

Interesting fact

The 5 ZiG 2024 coin from Zimbabwe is unique in that it has a triangular shape, unlike most coins which are circular. This distinctive shape is due to the coin's design, which features a stylized representation of a bird's head, with the triangle forming the bird's beak. This design element not only makes the coin visually striking but also serves as a security feature to prevent counterfeiting.
