About this banknote

The Bank of Zambia issued the 500 kwacha banknote in 2009 as part of its ongoing series introduced in 1992. This series marked a significant design shift by replacing the portrait of President Kenneth Kaunda with the African fish eagle on the obverse, a change implemented after 1992.

The obverse of the 2009 500 kwacha note features the African fish eagle and a baobab tree. The reverse displays an elephant's head, workers harvesting cotton, and the Freedom Statue, also known as the "Chainbreaker." This polymer note measures 140 x 70 mm and was printed by the South African Bank Note Company.
