About this banknote
The Bank of Zambia issued the 20,000 kwacha banknote in 2003 as part of a series introduced to address high inflation and facilitate larger transactions. This denomination remained in circulation until it was demonetized on July 1, 2013.
The obverse features a fish eagle perched on a branch, with the country's coat of arms and a holographic patch. The reverse displays a black lechwe antelope, miners operating a pneumatic drill, and the "Chainbreaker" statue. The banknote measures 145 x 70 mm and was printed by De La Rue, London.
