| 裏面の説明 | Central field features a polychrome applied color scene depicting the Viking longship 'The Olaf' under full sail amid stylized ocean waves, with billowing storm clouds rendered in shades of blue and grey in the background. A circular inset at left bears a multicolor portrait of Leif Eriksson in profile, wearing a horned helmet. The upper legend 'MILLENNIUM COLLECTION · 1000 YEARS OF EXPLORATION' arcs around the outer border, while the lower legend 'LEIF ERIKSSON IN CANADA c.1000' runs along the lower periphery. The ship's name '"The Olaf"' appears in the lower central field. |

This piece belongs to a wave of legal-tender commemoratives issued by sub-Saharan African nations around the millennium — coins with no plausible domestic circulation purpose, struck for the international collector market. Zambia was particularly prolific in this format during the late 1990s and early 2000s, licensing its mint authority to produce themed issues with no connection to Zambian history or geography.
Leif Eriksson's millennial association comes from the year 1000 AD, the approximate date Norse sagas place his landfall in Vinland — a connection the year 2000 made commercially irresistible to commemorative producers worldwide.
