Opschrift voorzijde	P.V. MALAWI
Beschrijving keerzijde	A proud rooster stands in full profile facing right, perched upon a raised ground line at center field, rendered with exceptional sculptural detail in the plumage, comb, wattles, and spur. The date '1964' is inscribed in the upper field above the bird, while the denomination legend 'SIX PENCE' curves along the lower periphery in bold raised lettering. The engraver's monogram 'P.V.' appears discreetly in the lower field near the ground line, attributing the design to Paul Vincze.

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.
