50 Meticais Bank of Mozambique UNC

Description

Issued by the Bank of Mozambique between 1983 and 1986, this 50 Meticais note belongs to the Old Metical currency era. It was issued during the period when Mozambique was officially known as the People’s Republic of Mozambique.

The obverse features troops marching with raised arms, military training activities, artillery and rocket launchers, along with a flag-hoisting ceremony and the national coat of arms. The imagery strongly reflects the era’s emphasis on military and national themes.

The reverse continues the historical theme with a detailed scene of people and activities associated with the nation’s development. Its distinctive socialist-era imagery makes this note an interesting addition to collections of African and historical world banknotes.
