| Additional information |
Part of Malawi's long-running wildlife coin program, this piece belongs to a series issued primarily for the collector export market rather than domestic circulation — Malawi's actual monetary economy in 2005 had little use for a 5 Kwacha denomination in silver-plated copper-nickel at this size and weight.
