Obverse description Bare-headed effigy of President Kenneth David Kaunda facing right, rendered in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof field. The legend ZAMBIA arcs along the upper periphery, while the date 1986 appears in the lower exergual area. The portrait is unadorned and naturalistic in style, consistent with the official presidential coinage of the period.

Reverse description A finely detailed depiction of the White-winged Flufftail (Sarothrura ayresi), a rare and endangered African rail, shown in full profile standing atop rocky ground amid tufts of marsh grass. The bird is rendered with careful attention to plumage detail, its compact body and scaled feathering clearly articulated in high relief. The denomination 10 KWACHA appears in two lines beneath the central device, arching along the lower periphery. This design was issued as part of the World Wildlife Fund conservation series.
