| Obverse description | Unadorned right-facing bust of President Kenneth Kaunda, engraved in high relief against a plain field. The legend ZAMBIA arcs above the portrait along the upper rim, while the date 1966 appears in the lower field beneath the bust. The portrait is rendered in a bold, modernist style characteristic of Christopher Ironside's work, with close-cropped hair and strongly defined facial features. No additional ornament or border devices are present. |
