| Obverse description | The Zambian national coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a shield charged with wavy vertical stripes and supported by a male figure to the left and a female figure to the right, both rendered in full figure. An African fish eagle with wings displayed surmounts the shield, and a scroll at the base bears the national motto ONE ZAMBIA ONE NATION. The country name ZAMBIA arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination FIVE SHILLINGS reads vertically along the left and lower right of the field, flanked by decorative six-pointed star ornaments. |
