Malawi's first banknote series, of which this 50 Tambala is a part, was introduced in 1964 following independence from British colonial rule and the establishment of the Reserve Bank of Malawi. The tambala subdivision — one hundredth of a kwacha — was itself newly coined terminology, replacing the previous pound-based system when decimal currency was adopted.
Bradbury Wilkinson's New Malden facility was the dominant supplier to newly independent African states throughout the 1960s and early 1970s, and their output for Malawi is competent but not among their more elaborately engraved commissions.
