1000 Kwacha Mountain Gorilla

Descrizione del dritto	The Zambian coat of arms is centrally depicted, featuring two human supporters flanking a shield charged with wavy lines representing the Victoria Falls, surmounted by a fish eagle with crossed tools; the date 2014 is divided to either side of the arms in the field. The curved legend ZAMBIA appears along the upper periphery, while the denomination 1000 KWACHA is inscribed along the lower periphery. A scroll at the base of the arms bears the national motto ONE ZAMBIA ONE NATION. The design is executed in milled relief against a plain field, enclosed by a beaded inner border.

Informazioni aggiuntive	Zambia's gorilla coins have long occupied a peculiar corner of the numismatic market — produced not for domestic circulation but squarely for the collector trade, with the issuing authority licensing the design through foreign minting intermediaries. The mountain gorilla series attracted buyers on the strength of the subject matter rather than any monetary function; Zambia has no wild gorilla population. Silver-plated copper-nickel at this weight is a cost structure that tells its own story about the intended buyer and price point.
