| Obverse description | The obverse displays the coat of arms of Zambia centrally, featuring two human supporters — a man to the left and a woman to the right — flanking a shield charged with wavy lines symbolizing the Victoria Falls. An African fish eagle with spread wings surmounts the shield above crossed tools. The date 2014 is divided across the lower field on either side of the arms. The legend ZAMBIA arcs along the upper periphery, while 1000 KWACHA is inscribed along the lower periphery, with the motto ONE ZAMBIA ONE NATION appearing on a scroll at the base of the arms. The coin is bordered by a fine beaded rim. |

| Additional information |
Zambia's currency, the kwacha, was redenominated in 2013 — one new kwacha replacing one thousand old ones — making this 1000 kwacha denomination an artifact of the transition period, issued just as that face value became numerically identical to a single unit of the new currency. The Giant Panda series it belongs to has been a vehicle for Chinese-market coin sales more than domestic circulation, with Zambia lending its issuing authority to pieces aimed squarely at collectors in Asia.
