| Obverse description | The arms of Malawi are displayed prominently in the center of the field, featuring a shield supported by a lion rampant to the left and a leopard to the right, with a rising sun and an eagle as crest above. A scroll at the base of the arms bears the national motto UNITY AND FREEDOM. The legend REPUBLIC OF MALAWI arcs along the upper periphery, flanked by the date 20 03 divided on either side of the shield. The denomination 10 KWACHA appears along the lower rim. |

| Additional information |
Malawi's Olympic commemorative program in the early 2000s produced a string of silver issues tied to Athens 2004, none of which had any meaningful connection to Malawian athletic participation. Rowing in particular was a sport in which Malawi had no Olympic history at the time of issue — this is straightforwardly a bullion-adjacent commemorative produced for the collector export market, not domestic circulation.
