200 Kwacha Princess Diana

Issued within months of Diana's death in August 1997, this is precisely the kind of opportunistic memorial coinage that flooded the market from smaller nations with no connection to the subject — Zambia among dozens. The pieces were produced for the collector trade, not circulation, and were often sold through mail-order dealers and TV shopping channels at significant markups over face value.

KM#52 sees fairly consistent supply at auction. It was never legal tender in any meaningful transactional sense.
