| Additional information |
Zambia's wildlife coin program of the late 1990s and early 2000s was produced primarily for the collector export market — these pieces saw no meaningful domestic circulation, and the Bank of Zambia used the series as a foreign currency earner rather than a monetary instrument. The .859 fineness is deliberately non-standard, a cost-reducing measure common among third-party-minted commemoratives of this period where the issuing authority had limited control over production specifications.
