| Additional information |
Malawi's Olympic commemorative program in the late 2000s and early 2010s was largely a revenue exercise, issued through the Pobjoy Mint and aimed squarely at the thematic collector market rather than domestic circulation. The country had no athletes competing in track events of any distinction at the time of issue, making the "Runners" subject a generic hook rather than a national celebration.
