The Mosi-oa-Tunya (English: The Smoke Which Thunders) is a gold coin introduced in Zimbabwe in 2022 in the context of rising inflation.
Nomenclature and characteristics
Mosi-oa-Tunya is the Lozi name for Victoria Falls and translates into the English language as The Smoke Which Thunders.[1][2]
The coins weigh one troy ounce and are made of 22 carat gold.[2][3] They were minted outside of Zimbabwe.[4]
Each coin has a unique serial number.[5]
Use
The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe distributed 2,000 Mosi-oa-Tunya to commercial banks on 25 June 2022. They can be used for normal retail purposes.[2] The coins were introduced in the context of instability with existing local currency and Zimbabweans' tendency to use the U.S. dollar.[4]

The coins are worth the international market rate for a troy ounce of gold, plus five percent.[2]
