Zimbabwe's 2018 novelty coinage series — which placed Soviet-designed fighter aircraft on a shilling denomination the country had no practical monetary use for — was issued during a period when Zimbabwe had effectively abandoned its own currency entirely, running on a multi-currency basket dominated by the US dollar following the catastrophic hyperinflation that peaked in 2008–2009. The MiG-35, developed by Mikoyan in the 1990s as a fourth-generation-plus evolution of the MiG-29, had no particular connection to Zimbabwe's air force, which operated Chinese and Soviet-era types under very different procurement histories.
