| Additional information |
Mont Dolent is the point where the borders of France, Italy, and Switzerland converge in the Alps, making it a minor cartographic curiosity that Malawi — a landlocked country in southeastern Africa with no geographic or political connection to the site — chose to commemorate. Malawi issued a wave of such topographically themed coins in the early 2000s, targeting the European collector market rather than domestic circulation. These pieces were never intended to pass through a Malawian wallet.
