Additional information

Issued the same year James Cameron's film dominated global box office receipts, this is an unapologetic tie-in piece. Zambia has no maritime history and no connection to the Titanic disaster — the Bank of Zambia simply licensed the imagery. These kinds of issues from the 1990s were produced almost entirely for the collector and souvenir market, with face value nominal and circulation nonexistent.

KM#110 is one of several Zambian novelty issues from this period bearing pop-culture subjects wholly unrelated to the issuing nation.
