| Obverse description | The colourised obverse features the Zimbabwean coat of arms centrally positioned in the field, depicting two kudus as supporters flanking a shield quartered with the Zimbabwe Bird and national symbols, surmounted by a red star. The legend 'SHILLING 1' arcs along the upper rim, while 'REPUBLIC OF ZIMBABWE' is inscribed along the lower rim. The motto 'UNITY . FREEDOM . WORK' appears on a scroll at the base of the arms. The date '2018' is struck in the lower field between the coat of arms and the bottom legend. The entire design is rendered with full colour printing against a light blue field evoking a sky background. |

| Additional information |
Zimbabwe has no shilling denomination. This piece is almost certainly a privately minted fantasy token or novelty issue — not a product of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, which has issued dollars, cents, and bond coins since independence in 1980. The F-15 Eagle is a United States Air Force aircraft with no connection to Zimbabwean currency or history. Pieces like this are produced in bulk by third-party mints, often Chinese, and marketed to collectors unfamiliar with the issuing country's actual monetary record.
