| Obverse description | The colourised coat of arms of Zimbabwe occupies the central field, depicting a shield supported by two kudus, with a Zimbabwe bird and a red star above, and a ribbon bearing the national motto at the base. The denomination '1' appears prominently in the upper field, with the legend 'SHILLING' arcing above it. The issuer inscription 'REPUBLIC OF ZIMBABWE' curves along the lower periphery, and the date '2018' is placed in the exergue above it. The entire design is rendered with full colour application over a nickel plated steel flan. |

| Additional information |
Zimbabwe has no indigenous "shilling" denomination — the unit belongs to East African monetary tradition — and this piece sits outside any coherent Zimbabwean monetary series. It was not produced by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe for circulation. Issues of this type, attaching Korean historical figures to African nominal issuers, are fantasy pieces produced for the souvenir and novelty market, typically struck by private mints and assigned fictional denominations to simulate legitimacy.
Sejong the Great ruled Joseon Korea from 1418 to 1450 and commissioned the creation of Hangul in 1443.
