| Additional information |
Malawi's wildlife coin program of the late 2000s and early 2010s routinely borrowed fauna with no geographic connection to the country — the Panamanian golden frog, Atelopus zeteki, is endemic to Panama and was almost certainly extinct in the wild by the time this coin was struck. A captive breeding crisis had been underway since the chytrid fungus outbreak devastated Central American amphibian populations through the mid-2000s, and the species' precarious status made it a marketable subject for the international commemorative coin trade regardless of any Malawian connection.
