| Obverse description | Depiction of the Zimbabwe Bird, the national emblem derived from soapstone sculptures discovered at the ruins of Great Zimbabwe, carved by the ancestors of the Shona people between the 12th and 14th centuries. The stylized raptor figure is shown in profile, perched atop a pedestal, rendered in a manner faithful to the original stone carvings. The legend 'ZIMBABWE' arcs along the upper periphery of the coin, with the date appearing in the lower field. The design was engraved by Barry Stanton. |

| Additional information |
Zimbabwe's dollar had been under sustained pressure since the late 1990s, when the government's involvement in the Democratic Republic of Congo conflict and the onset of the fast-track land reform programme began gutting foreign currency reserves. This coin was struck just as annual inflation crossed into triple digits — a threshold that, within a few years, would render every circulating denomination an artifact of a monetary system in free collapse.
