Opschrift voorzijde	ZAMBIA 2014 1000 KWACHA
Beschrijving keerzijde	Two African giraffes — one adult and one juvenile — are depicted in full relief standing on a grassy savannah, with a stylised landscape including acacia trees and clouds in the background. The curved legend 'AFRICAN WILDLIFE' arcs along the upper periphery in large capital letters. A smaller cartouche inscription 'African GIRAFFE' appears in the upper central field above the giraffes. The date '2014' is inscribed along the lower border. A beaded border frames the entire reverse design.

Aanvullende informatie	Zambia's legal tender coinage has long been used as a vehicle for the international bullion and novelty collector market rather than domestic circulation — the country redenominated its currency in 2013, replacing the kwacha at a 1000:1 ratio, which makes a 1000 kwacha face value simultaneously a relic denomination and a collector's in-joke. Nordic gold-plated stainless steel is a production choice driven entirely by cost and visual effect, not monetary tradition. The African Wildlife series to which this belongs is essentially a private mint product dressed in sovereign clothing.
