Interesting fact

The 10 Kwacha 1999 coin from Malawi is a unique piece of numismatic history, as it features a portrait of the country's first president, Hastings Kamuzu Banda, on one side, and the national emblem of Malawi, a lion, on the other. This coin was minted to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Malawi's independence from British colonial rule, and its design reflects the country's rich cultural heritage and history.
