Stretching along the western shore of crystal-clear Lake Malawi in the Great Rift Valley of southeastern Africa and governed from Lilongwe, the Republic of Malawi replaced the pound in 1971 with the decimal Malawian kwacha (MWK)—meaning dawn in Chichewa—subdivided into 100 tambala (meaning roosters). Its circulation coinage celebrates African wildlife and heritage with depictions of the cockerel, purple heron, African elephant, fish eagle, and Lake Malawi cichlid fish.
