Comments

Zebra równinna lub zebra pospolita lub zebra Burchella (często spotykana w Botswanie)
Nazwa dwumianowa: Equus quagga

Data wydania: 20 czerwca 1991 r.

UWAGA: Druga "1" w dacie 1991 jest czasami błędnie odczytywana jako "7". Porównaj ją z pierwszą "1", aby upewnić się, że nie jest to "7". Jeśli faktycznie posiadasz monetę z datą 1997, prześlij prośbę o zmianę i dodaj skan strony z datą monety. Moneta na zdjęciu to moneta z 1991 roku, dla porównania.

Co oznacza słowo"Pula"? Pula dosłownie oznacza "deszcz" w języku Tswana, ponieważ deszcz jest bardzo rzadki w Botswanie (większość powierzchni pustyni Kalahari znajduje się tutaj), a zatem cenny i błogosławiony. Słowo to jest również mottem narodowym kraju.

Co oznacza słowo"Ipelegeng"? Słowo "Ipelegeng" dosłownie oznacza "nosić własny ciężar" lub "być samowystarczalnym lub niezależnym", ogólnie ma różne znaczenia w języku Tswana. Ipelegeng to także południowoafrykańskie miasto i botswański program stworzony w celu zmniejszenia ubóstwa w kraju.

Plains zebra or common zebra or Burchell's zebra (Found extensively in Botswana)
Binomial Name: Equus quagga

Issue date: June 20, 1991.

PLEASE NOTE: The second "1" in the date 1991, is sometimes misread as a "7". Compare it to the first "1" to ensure that it is not a "7". If you do in fact have a coin dated 1997, please submit the change request and add a scan of the date side of the coin as well. The coin pictured here is a 1991 coin, for comparison.

What does the word "Pula" mean? Pula literally means "rain" in Tswana language, because rain is very scarce in Botswana (most of the surface of Kalahari Desert is situated here) and therefore valuable and a blessing. The word also is the national motto of the country.

What does the word "Ipelegeng" mean? The word "Ipelegeng" literally means "to carry your own weight" or "to be self sufficient or independent", in general has got different meanings in Tswana language. Ipelegeng is also a South African city and a Botswana program created for reducing the poverty in the country.
