About this banknote
The Bank of Zambia issued the 50 kwacha banknote in 2014 as part of the 2012–2014 "Revalued Kwacha" series. This series was introduced following the rebasing of the Zambian currency on January 1, 2013, which aimed to simplify financial transactions by dividing the old currency by 1,000.
The obverse of the banknote features the Zambian coat of arms, an African fish eagle perched on a branch, a dove, and the Big Tree National Monument in Kabwe. The reverse depicts a leopard, the Freedom Statue in Lusaka, and the Bank of Zambia headquarters. The note measures 145 x 70 mm and was printed by Giesecke & Devrient in Leipzig, Germany.
