| Reverse description | The entire reverse field is occupied by a full-color printed illustration depicting a World War II-era single-engine military fighter aircraft, rendered in olive-green and black camouflage livery with white undersides and bearing the numeral 75 on its fuselage. The aircraft is shown in dynamic banking flight over a mountainous, snow-dusted landscape beneath a dramatic sky of blue and purple hues. The colorized image covers the full diameter of the coin, with no peripheral legend or additional inscriptions. |

| Additional information |
North Rhodesia ceased to exist as a political entity in October 1964, when it became Zambia at independence. Zimbabwe issuing a coin denominated as "1 Dollar North Rhodesia" in 2020 is a curiosity of the modern commemorative market — a nation memorializing a colonial-era territory that was never part of its own administrative history, packaged in colorized steel for collector appeal rather than any coherent historical purpose.
