Informazioni aggiuntive	Zambia's 1974 coinage was issued nearly a decade after independence from Britain in 1964, during the early years of Kenneth Kaunda's one-party state — the United National Independence Party had legally consolidated power just the previous year under the 1973 constitution. That political shift made this issue as much a domestic statement of permanence as a circulating coin. The Bank of Zambia turned to the British Royal Mint for production, a dependency that would continue well into the 1970s despite the rhetoric of self-determination.
