| Additional information |
Zambia's millennium-themed commemorative program was notably prolific in the early 2000s, with the country's mint contractors producing a wide range of issues aimed squarely at the thematic collector market rather than circulation. The 4000 Kwacha denomination was essentially notional — at 2002 exchange rates, it corresponded to roughly one US dollar in face value, making it a collector vehicle in everything but name.
Elizabeth II's effigy appearing on Zambian coinage reflected the country's Commonwealth membership, though Zambia had been a republic since 1964.
