| Additional information |
Zambia's participation in the 1979–1989 Save the Children Fund commemorative series placed it among dozens of nations issuing silver coins under a broadly coordinated international campaign tied to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, which was formally adopted in November 1989 — the same year this piece was struck. The Bank of Zambia issued selectively into the commemorative market during this period, with most pieces absorbed directly by collectors and never reaching domestic circulation.
