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

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 an eland standing in a plain of savannah with its name below right and the inscription semicircle in the left.

The common eland (Taurotragus oryx), also known as the southern eland, is a large antelope found in East and Southern Africa, standing around 1.6 m tall for males and weighing up to 942 kg. Primarily herbivorous, it lives in herds of up to 500 in savannahs and grasslands, avoiding dense forests. Elands are used by humans for meat, leather, and milk, with their milk being richer in butterfat than cow's milk. Native to several African countries, the species is classified as least concern, though its population is declining.
