Commenti	Malawi achieved independence on 6 July 1964, and this note belongs to the first issue placed into circulation by the newly established Reserve Bank — replacing the Rhodesia and Nyasaland currency that had served the federation until its dissolution the previous year. The shilling denominations were short-lived; Malawi decimalized in 1971, converting to kwacha and tambala, which made the entire pre-decimal series obsolete within seven years of issue. Bradbury Wilkinson printed extensively for newly independent African states during the 1960s, and the Malawi first series was among their standard sovereign commissions of that decade. The single watermark security feature reflects the modest specification typical of low-value denominations in inaugural issues, where budgetary constraints often shaped the security brief.
