| Beschrijving voorzijde | The national coat of arms of Botswana occupies the central field, featuring a shield divided into quarters displaying a cogwheel, an elephant tusk, and wavy lines symbolizing water, with a bull's head at the base. Two zebras serve as supporters, rampant on either side of the shield. A scroll beneath the shield bears the national motto PULA in raised lettering. The legend BOTSWANA arcs along the upper periphery, with the date 1994 and the word IPELEGENG inscribed in the lower field below the supporters. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Botswana's currency takes its name from the Setswana word for "rain" — a deliberate choice in a country where the Kalahari dominates and rainfall is both scarce and economically decisive. The pula replaced the South African rand at par in 1976, two years after the Bank of Botswana was established, marking a clean monetary break from the country's economic dependency on Pretoria.
By 1994, Botswana's diamond revenues had made it one of Africa's strongest economies, and the nickel-brass bimetal series reflected a conscious effort to issue durable coinage suited to active commercial circulation rather than prestige.
