| Obverse description | The Zambian national coat of arms occupies the central field, featuring a shield supported by two human figures — a man to the left and a woman to the right — both rendered in high relief. An African fish eagle with outstretched wings surmounts the shield, which bears vertical wavy lines symbolizing the Victoria Falls. A scroll at the base carries the motto ONE ZAMBIA ONE NATION. The legend BANK OF ZAMBIA arcs along the upper periphery, while the date 2010 is split to either side of the arms, and the denomination 1000 KWACHA appears along the lower border. |

| Reverse description | The central field features a full-color photographic depiction of a Jumper ant (Myrmecia species), shown in close-up detail with its distinctive mandibles, multi-segmented antennae, and powerful legs vividly rendered against a dark background. The naturalistic colorized image captures the insect's iridescent blue-black body and yellow-tipped forelegs resting on a sandy surface. The series title DEADLY BUGS arcs along the upper border in raised Latin letters, while the common name JUMPER ANT appears as a straight legend along the lower border. The surrounding rim is finished in polished silver, providing strong contrast to the colorized central motif. |
