About this banknote
The Reserve Bank of Malawi issued this 50 tambala banknote in 1984. This series was part of Malawi's effort to adapt its currency system under the Reserve Bank of Malawi Act of 1964. This period marked significant developments as the Reserve Bank sought to assert economic independence following the nation's earlier establishment as a republic.
The front of the note features a portrait of an unidentified figure, alongside a scene of fishermen on Lake Malawi. The back displays a depiction of agricultural activity with a farmer among cotton plants, symbolizing Malawi's agrarian economy. This banknote is cataloged as Pick 13, noted for its blue-grey color and its relatively compact dimensions of 122 x 69 mm.
