| Additional information |
Issued as part of a wave of commemorative silver crowns produced across sub-Saharan Africa in the early 1990s, largely for the collector export market rather than domestic circulation. Zambia's economy at the time was under severe strain — the kwacha had lost the majority of its value through the late 1980s and early 1990s, making a 500 Kwacha face value on a silver coin a nominal fiction against the metal's actual worth.
KM#48 was struck in connection with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, which Zambia ratified in 1991.
