About this banknote
The Reserve Bank of Malawi issued this 2 kwacha banknote in 1971. This series was introduced as part of the country's efforts to establish its own currency following independence in 1964. The introduction of local currency helped solidify economic identity and replaced British colonial coins and notes.
The front of the note features a portrait of Dr. Hastings Banda and a scene of fishermen on Lake Malawi, highlighting agricultural and economic activities. The reverse side depicts workers in a cotton field. This banknote, cataloged as Pick 7, measures 151 x 82 mm and is printed in brown on a multicolor underprint.
