| Beschrijving keerzijde | A detailed naturalistic depiction of a Tree Pangolin (Manis tricuspis) occupies the central field, rendered in high relief with its characteristic overlapping scales finely engraved. The animal is shown clinging to a tree branch, its body curled in a characteristic pose with the head raised and the prehensile tail wrapped around the branch below. The legend ENDANGERED WILDLIFE arcs along the upper periphery in bold raised lettering against a mirror-polished field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The tree pangolin (Phataginus tricuspis) depicted on this issue is native to the forests of central and west Africa, including Malawi's own border regions. By 2005, pangolins were already under severe poaching pressure for bushmeat and traditional medicine markets — pressure that has since made them the most trafficked wild mammal on earth. Malawi's wildlife coin series of the mid-2000s was aimed squarely at the collector market rather than circulation, issued in silver-plated copper-nickel to keep costs accessible while maintaining a presentation-grade appearance.
