Interesting fact
The 500 Kwacha (Children's Rights) coin from Zambia, minted in 1994, is a unique and interesting coin due to its design and purpose. The coin features an image of a child holding a book, symbolizing the importance of education and learning in the development of children. The reverse side of the coin bears the coat of arms of Zambia, along with the inscription "500 Kwacha" and the year of minting. What makes this coin particularly interesting is that it was minted to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. This convention, adopted in 1989, aims to protect the rights of children worldwide, including their right to education, healthcare, and protection from exploitation and abuse. The coin serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting and promoting the rights of children, and it is a meaningful collector's item for anyone interested in numismatics or human rights.
