| Aanvullende informatie |
Zambia's commemorative coinage of this period leaned heavily into the novelty market — wildlife, exploration, and world heritage themes struck for collectors with little connection to the issuing country. Marco Polo's relevance to Zambia is precisely zero, which tells you everything about who this coin was made for. These pieces were typically contracted through European private mints and distributed via dealer networks, never seeing Zambian circulation.
KM#96 in copper-nickel sits at the affordable end of the issue — a silver version was also produced for the same series.
