| Obverse description | The gold-plated copper centre features a detailed frontal view of the Presidential Office Building in Taipei, rendered in high relief with fine architectural detail including its distinctive clock tower and colonnaded facade. The building occupies the full field of the inner disc. The silver-plated outer ring bears the legend REPUBLIC OF CHINA arching along the upper portion, with 10 KWACHA inscribed at the base of the centre disc and BANK OF MALAWI along the lower arc of the ring. Two stylised plum blossom ornaments flank the centre disc at the three and nine o'clock positions, and a beaded border frames both the inner and outer rings. |

Malawi's 2004 presidential inauguration marked the transfer of power to Bingu wa Mutharika, who won that year's election under the United Democratic Front before dramatically splitting from the party and founding the Democratic Progressive Party the following year. Pattern issues of this type were produced in very limited numbers for official presentation purposes and were never released into circulation — a distinction that explains why most survivors retain essentially unissued surfaces.
