The bird which you see on the One Kwacha coin is called the Zambian Barbet (Lybius chaplini). This particular bird is native to Zambia and is not found anywhere else in the world. It’s other name is “Chaplin’s Barbet”, a name given to the bird in honour of a colonial administrator named Sir Francis Chaplin. The usage of the name “Zambian Barbet” instead of “Chaplin’s Barbet” is meant to emphasize the bird’s status as a bird species that is native to Zambia. It’s natural habitat is the moist savanna.
