Depicts the coat of arms of Malawi, date above and country name in Chichewa 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.

The steppe eagle (Aquila nipalensis) is a large bird of prey in the Accipitridae family, known for its well-feathered legs and ground-nesting behavior, which is unique among eagles. Once considered related to the tawny eagle, it was split due to differences in morphology and genetics. On its breeding grounds, the steppe eagle primarily preys on ground squirrels, but it migrates extensively and shifts to feeding on insects, carrion, and other opportunistic sources during winter. Despite still being seen in large numbers during migration, the species has suffered a significant population decline, over 50%, due to habitat destruction, climate change, human persecution, and electrocutions. The steppe eagle is now listed as endangered by the IUCN and is the national bird of Kazakhstan and Egypt.
