| Beschrijving keerzijde | Fantasy reproduction of the Japanese Meiji-era silver Yen coin design of 1874. The central field displays the large kanji characters '壹圓' (One Yen) in high relief, flanked by two foliate sprays tied with a ribbon at the base. A chrysanthemum mon occupies the upper centre, with additional kanji weight and fineness inscriptions arranged to either side of the central motif. The date '1874' appears in Western numerals along the lower exergue, rendered in proof finish. |

The Anglo-Japanese Alliance, first signed in 1902 and renewed twice before lapsing in 1923, was Britain's first peacetime military alliance with a non-European power. Zambia's decision to commemorate its centenary is an odd fit — the Alliance had no meaningful connection to Central Africa — but the piece belongs to a broader category of Zambian numismatic issues from this period that were produced primarily for the collector market rather than domestic circulation, with subject matter chosen to appeal to Japanese and British buyers.
The Alliance's eventual collapse owed largely to American pressure at the 1921 Washington Naval Conference.
