| Obverse description | The central field displays the coat of arms of Malawi, supported by a lion to the left and a leopard to the right, with a rising sun above the shield and the motto ribbon inscribed UNITY AND FREEDOM below. Flanking the coat of arms on both sides are decorative flowering plant sprigs in high relief. The denomination 20 KWACHA appears in the lower field beneath the arms. The circular legend REPUBLIC OF MALAWI arcs along the upper rim, with the date 2010 below it, while BIOSPHERE RESERVES curves along the lower rim. |

| Additional information |
Tatra National Park sits on the border of Poland and Slovakia — nowhere near Malawi. This is a straightforward modern commemorative issued under Malawi's long-running program of selling foreign-themed coins to collectors, a practice common among smaller nations licensing their minting authority for revenue. The park itself was established in Poland in 1954, with the Slovak side designated separately in 1949; the two countries later coordinated a joint UNESCO Biosphere Reserve designation in 1992.
