To the left, a large 'K5000' denomination numeral appears in red at upper left alongside the Bank of Zambia 'BOZ' watermark letter device, with the Zambian coat of arms within a circular underprint at lower left bearing the year date. The issuer title 'BANK OF ZAMBIA' runs along the top, with the promise text and denomination inscription in large bold letterpress at centre. |
