Interesting fact
The 5 Kwacha (The Bismarck) 2009 coin from Malawi is a unique piece that features a portrait of Otto von Bismarck, the former German Chancellor, on one side and the Malawian coat of arms on the other. It's a non-circulating coin, meaning it's not meant to be used as regular currency, but rather as a collector's item. The coin is made of silver-plated copper and weighs 27.0 grams.
