About this banknote
The Bank of Zambia issued the 1-pound banknote in 1964, following the country's independence. This note was part of Zambia's inaugural currency series, replacing the Rhodesia and Nyasaland pound at par. The Zambian pound remained in circulation until decimalization on January 16, 1968.
The obverse features a black-cheeked lovebird on the right and the national coat of arms at the upper center. The reverse depicts a mining tower and conveyors, highlighting Zambia's mining industry. The note measures 149 x 83 mm and was printed by Thomas De La Rue & Company, Limited, London. It includes a watermark of a wildebeest's head for security.
