The term "fantasia" in the catalog name flags this immediately: it is not a circulated or official Bank of Zambia issue but a novelty or fantasy note produced in the style of Zambian currency without legal tender status. Zambia did adopt polymer substrate for its genuine kwacha series — the 2012–2013 redenominated notes were among the earlier African adoptions of Guardian polymer — so the material choice here mimics a real technical shift in the country's actual note production.
