| Aanvullende informatie |
Malawi's first coinage was issued following independence from Britain in July 1964, and this sixpence was struck while the country was still navigating its transition from Nyasaland — a name abandoned along with the colonial currency it shared with Rhodesia and Zambia. The Reserve Bank of Malawi was itself newly established, and these coins effectively announced the existence of a sovereign monetary institution where none had existed before.
Production ran only through 1967, when decimalization replaced the pound-based system entirely.
