Obverse : Inkhosi ya Makhosi Philip Gomani II was a Malawian traditional leader who was fiercely opposed to the Federation of Nyasaland and Rhodesia imposed in 1953. Although he was intended to represent the anti-federation chiefs in London, his failing health forced his son Willard to replace him. Gomani resisted federation by ignoring colonial regulations, leading to his deposition by the authorities. In May 1953, after a failed attempt at deportation by the police, he fled to Mozambique with Willard and the Reverend Michael Scott. They were arrested and returned to Malawi, where Gomani, ill and hospitalised in Thyolo, died shortly afterwards. His funeral in Lizulu was attended by many nationalists and admirers.
Reverse : Kasungu National Park, located in central Malawi near the border with Zambia, is the country's largest park, covering approximately 2,316 square kilometres. Established in 1970, it is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including elephants, lions, leopards, and many species of antelope and birds, although the animal population has declined due to poaching and habitat loss.
