| Reverse description | A full-color photographic-style depiction of a Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus) in flight occupies the entire central field, with wings fully spread and the bird facing slightly to the right, showcasing its distinctive barred underparts and dark hood markings against a pale blue sky background. The colorization technique renders fine feather detail across the primaries and coverts. The legend BIRDS OF PREY arcs along the upper border in raised lettering, while PEREGRINE FALCON appears as a straight legend along the lower border, both set against a dark outer rim. |

| Additional information |
Malawi's wildlife coin program of the late 2000s and early 2010s produced a sprawling series of large-format silver-plated pieces aimed squarely at the thematic collector market rather than circulation. The peregrine falcon, chosen here for its international profile rather than any particular connection to Malawi, breeds nowhere on the African continent south of the Sahara in meaningful resident populations — its appearance on a Malawian issue is a commercial decision, not a zoological one.
