| 正面描述 | The national coat of arms of Botswana is depicted in the copper-nickel plated steel centre, featuring a shield supported by two zebras rampant, with a cogwheel and wavy lines on the shield and a bull's head at its base. A scroll beneath the supporters bears the national motto 'PULA' in raised lettering. The date of issue appears in the field below the arms. The outer brass-plated steel ring carries the country name 'BOTSWANA' arching along the upper border and the word 'IPELEGENG' along the lower border, separated by decorative seed motifs. |

Botswana's pula coinage reflects the country's unusual monetary history — the pula was introduced in 1976 to replace the South African rand at par, a deliberate break from the currency union that had tied the newly independent nation's economy to Pretoria. The 5 Pula denomination in bimetallic form was introduced as rising metal costs made single-alloy coinage increasingly impractical across the region.
The copper-nickel centre within a brass-plated steel ring construction is a cost-reduction measure adopted by many African central banks during the 2000s and 2010s as commodity prices spiked.
