| Reverse description | The entire field is occupied by a full-color photographic-style illustration of a Junkers Ju 87 Stuka dive bomber in low-level flight, depicted in blue-grey camouflage livery with distinctive fixed undercarriage and cranked gull wings. The aircraft is shown banking low over a landscape with clouds and terrain visible in the background, rendered in vivid applied color across the steel planchet. The milled border of the coin frames the colorized image. No legends or inscriptions appear on the reverse. |

| Additional information |
Zimbabwe issued this piece in 2020 under a collector series nominally denominated in dollars, despite the country having abandoned its own dollar in 2009 after one of the most catastrophic hyperinflationary collapses in recorded history. The Ju 87 Stuka saw no operational service over Rhodesia — the aircraft belonged to the Luftwaffe's European and North African campaigns of the late 1930s and 1940s, making the thematic link to "North Rhodesia" a branding choice rather than a historical one.
The steel-core "paper colorized" construction places this firmly in the modern novelty category.
