Malawi's first kwacha series launched in 1971 following decimalisation, which replaced the Malawian pound at a rate of two kwacha to one pound. Bradbury Wilkinson, then operating from their New Malden facility in Surrey, handled much of Anglophone Africa's security printing in this period — their contracts stretched from Zambia to Sierra Leone, producing notes that share a recognisably cautious, conservative aesthetic across very different issuing authorities.
P#10 is the second date range for this denomination, superseding the 1971 issue. Relatively short window of production before the series was replaced in 1976.
