Obverse description	The central device displays the full coat of arms of Malawi, featuring a lion and a leopard as supporters flanking a shield charged with wavy bands and a rising sun, surmounted by an eagle. The date 2004 is split to either side of the arms, with the numeral '20' at left and '04' at right. The legend 'REPUBLIC OF MALAWI' arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin characters, while the national motto 'UNITY AND FREEDOM' appears on a scroll at the base of the arms. The denomination '10 KWACHA' is inscribed along the lower border in bold lettering. The field has a deeply mirrored proof finish.

Reverse description	The central field features a rectangular full-colour appliqué panel depicting two adult seagulls with distinctive yellow-tipped red bills nuzzling a chick between them, set against a naturalistic background of foliage. A silhouette of the African continent appears in the field to the left and right of the colour panel, serving as decorative flanking devices. The legend 'MOTHER NATURE OF AFRICA' arcs along the upper periphery, and 'ENDANGERED WILDLIFE' is inscribed along the lower border, both in raised Latin lettering. The surrounding field retains a matte silver-plated finish contrasting with the vivid polychrome inset.
