Editing Zambian kwacha (section)

==== Second emission (1969–1973) ====
In 1969, a second emission of the Zambian kwacha was issued. Initially, the emission comprised the same five banknotes of the first emission, and all five denominations bore the signatures of Dr Justin B. Zulu, Mr Valentine S. Musakanya, and that of Mr Bitwell R. Kuwani, the second, third, and forth governors of the Bank of Zambia, respectively, except for the 50 ngwee bills that never existed with Dr Zulu's signature, as well as the 1 kwacha bills that never showed Mr Kuwani's signature. The second emission banknotes were exactly similar to these of the first emission, except for a slight difference, in which the dot (•) between the currency symbol and the face value was removed. The banknotes were printed by [[De La Rue|Thomas De La Rue & Co. Limited]], and [[specimen banknote]]s were issued for each denomination, with the word SPECIMEN [[overprint]] in red [[Sans-serif|sans]] on both the obverse and reverse.

During the second emission period, a [[#Commemorative banknotes|commemorative banknote of 1 kwacha]] was issued in celebration of the declaration of [[One-party state]] on December 13, 1972. The banknote was not a legal tender, and had a different frame design than the banknotes of both, the first and second issues.

Later on in 1973, the Bank of Zambia issued the 5 kwacha banknote for the first time. A red-violet on multicolour [[underprint]] design was chosen for the new bill note. The new design resulted in a lot of confusion between the existing 50 ngwee bill and the new 5 kwacha one. This urged the Bank of Zambia to adopt a new design for the 50 ngwee banknotes in 1973. A new black and lilac on multicolor underprint was used for easy recognition, nevertheless, this was the last issue of the 50 ngwee banknotes as it was replaced later by a coin. The two new banknotes bore the signature of Mr Bitwell R. Kuwani, and were printed by [[De La Rue|Thomas De La Rue & Co. Limited]]. [[Specimen banknote]]s were issued for both denominations, with the word SPECIMEN [[overprint]] in red [[Sans-serif|sans]] on both the obverse and reverse.
