The surrounding field is deeply recessed and darkened, with two small circular decorative dots flanking the inset at mid-height. The legend EUROPEAN UNITY arcs along the upper periphery and ONE CURRENCY along the lower periphery, both in raised lettering separated by raised dots. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This piece belongs to a short-lived commemorative program issued by the Bank of Zambia during a period of significant economic strain — by the late 1990s, Zambia's kwacha had depreciated so severely against hard currencies that a 1000 Kwacha denomination, while nominally substantial, was worth only a few US cents in real purchasing power. The coin's face value and its €500 reverse motif existed in almost satirical contrast.
The euro-denominated reverse ties it to a European Currency Institute promotional wave ahead of the euro's January 1999 launch, when several non-European mints and issuers produced novelty pieces reproducing proposed banknote designs.
