1968 Zambia 2 Ngwee Copper Coin KM# 10 Scarce
1968 Zambia 2 Ngwee Copper Coin KM# 10 Scarce Low Mintage
This 1968 Zambia 2 Ngwee copper coin is a notable piece of African numismatic history, designated as KM# 10. Minted in copper, the obverse features the portrait of President Kenneth Kaunda, the first president of Zambia, while the reverse depicts a majestic Fish Eagle in flight alongside the denomination. This specific year is considered scarcer compared to other issues in the series, making it a desirable find for collectors of world coins. The coin is presented in a protective white flip holder and displays the natural dark patina characteristic of vintage copper currency. As a low mintage year, this piece represents a significant era of Zambian independence and is an essential addition for those specializing in regional copper coinage or KM-listed rarities.
1968 Zambia 2 Ngwee Copper Coin KM# 10 Scarce
Condition: This copper coin appears in circulated condition, displaying a natural dark brown patina consistent with its age. There is visible wear on the high points of President Kenneth Kaunda's portrait on the obverse and the martial eagle on the reverse, though major legends and the date remain legible. Some minor surface marks and edge knocks are present. The strike type is a standard business strike issued for general circulation. Produced at the Royal Mint in Llantrisant, United Kingdom, this coin is composed of copper. Historically, this 1968 issue represents the first decimal coinage of the Republic of Zambia following its independence, replacing the previous pound-based system. The KM# 10 variety is noted as being scarcer compared to later issues in the series. No formal grade has been assigned by a third-party service.
