Obverse description	The national coat of arms of Zambia is depicted centrally within a beaded inner circle, showing a shield charged with wavy lines representing the Victoria Falls, supported by a man to the left and a woman to the right, each flanked by an African drum in the outer field. 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 legend 'REPUBLIC OF ZAMBIA' curves along the upper periphery in raised Latin lettering, and the date '2016' appears in the lower field below the inner circle.

Reverse description	Two giraffes — a large adult and a smaller juvenile — are depicted in high relief at the centre of the field, rendered with fine textural detail on their characteristic reticulated coat patterns. An acacia tree in the background occupies the upper right portion of the inner circle, evoking a savannah landscape. The species inscription 'African Giraffe' appears in the left field, the legend 'AFRICAN WILDLIFE' curves along the upper periphery, and the denomination '5000 KWACHA' is prominently struck along the lower field. The fineness notation '1 oz Silver 999' is inscribed in smaller lettering between the animals' legs.
