Depicts the coat of arms of Malawi dividing 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 HMS Hood, starboard side, the inscription of the occasion, date, and her name above. The term VE is at the left corner, with three flags: the USA, the UK, and the USSR.

HMS Hood (pennant number 51) was a British Royal Navy battlecruiser and the only completed ship of the Admiral-class, launched in 1920. Originally planned during World War I, her design was altered after the Battle of Jutland to address vulnerabilities. For 20 years, Hood was the largest warship in the world, earning the nickname "The Mighty Hood." She served in numerous global operations before World War II. In May 1941, during the Battle of the Denmark Strait, Hood was sunk by the German battleship Bismarck, with only 3 survivors from her 1,418 crew.
