| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts a commemorative scene evoking 1920, showing a young Elizabeth (later Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother) in full Girl Guide uniform with wide-brimmed hat, standing to the right in three-quarter view and looking towards two younger Brownie-uniformed girls standing to the left beside a small campfire in the lower field. The figures are rendered in fine relief against a frosted field bordered by a dotted inner circle. The curved legend QUEEN ELIZABETH THE QUEEN MOTHER arcs along the upper periphery, with the secondary legend THE YOUNG GIRL GUIDE ELIZABETH inscribed on an inner arc below it. The commemorative date 1920 and the denomination 20 KWACHA appear in the lower field beneath the central design. |

Issued as part of Malawi's wave of commemorative crown-sized pieces produced throughout the 1990s, this coin marks the Queen Mother's longstanding association with the Girl Guides movement — she served as President of the Girl Guides Association from 1937 until 1943, when she handed the role to Princess Elizabeth. The specific 1920 reference points to her early involvement, the year she was enrolled as a Guide well before her public role expanded following the abdication crisis.
