Depicts the coat of arms of Malawi dividing the country name, date and denomination.

Malawi's coat of arms is based on Nyasaland's earlier heraldic arms. It features a shield supported by a lion and a leopard, standing on a representation of Mount Mulanje. The shield is divided into three parts: wavy lines symbolizing water, a central stripe with a lion representing strength, and a rising sun, symbolizing hope and new beginnings. Above the shield is a fish eagle in front of a rising sun, symbolizing freedom. The scroll below the shield bears the national motto, "Unity and Freedom," reflecting Malawi's goals of harmony and independence.

Depicts the Soviet cruiser Molotov, starboard side with smoke from the chimney, the inscription of the occasion, date, and her name above. The term VE is at the left corner with three flags of the USA, UK and USSR.

The Molotov, a Project 26bis Kirov-class cruiser of the Soviet Navy, played a significant role during World War II and the Cold War. Supporting Soviet forces in key battles like the Siege of Sevastopol and the Kerch-Feodosiya Operation, she was known for her durability. Launched in 1939, she was the first Soviet ship equipped with radar and underwent several upgrades during her service. After the war, Molotov was modernized and renamed Slava in 1957 following Vyacheslav Molotov's political downfall. She was reclassified as a training ship in 1961 and was eventually sold for scrap in 1972.
