Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5000 Kwacha - Elizabeth II (Queen Mother) 2000 coin from Zambia is that it has a unique design feature. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, while the reverse side features a representation of the Queen Mother, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. This is a distinctive feature as most coins typically feature the same person on both sides. Additionally, the coin's gold content and limited mintage make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
