| Beschrijving keerzijde | A colorized profile view of the American M4 Sherman medium tank dominates the central field, rendered in olive drab camouflage with white Allied stars on the hull and turret. The tank is depicted in three-quarter perspective facing left, with its main gun barrel extending toward the upper right. The legend 'US MEDIUM TANK' arches along the upper rim, with 'M4 Sherman' inscribed in a secondary line below it. The production and service date range '1942-1957' appears in the lower central field, and 'ARMAMENT AND COMBAT EQUIPMENT' is arched along the lower rim. The background field carries the same camouflage pattern as the obverse. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Zimbabwe's 2017 bond coin series was introduced as a stopgap measure after the country's prolonged cash shortage forced the Reserve Bank to issue surrogate currency pegged nominally to the US dollar. The "M4 Sherman" designation places this piece within a commemorative military vehicle subseries — an unusual choice for a nation with no direct operational history with that tank, suggesting the series was produced primarily for the collector export market rather than domestic circulation.
The bond coins were never universally accepted at face value by Zimbabwean traders, who frequently discounted them against hard currency from the moment of issue.
