To the left, a bare tree vignette fills the centre field, flanked by the denomination numeral K500 in an octagonal cartouche at upper left and the Zambian coat of arms in a circular intaglio vignette at lower left. A polymer transparent window cut in the shape of a dove appears at centre-left, serving as a primary security device. |
