Mozambique Banknotes Catalog

The history of banknotes in Mozambique reflects the political and economic evolution of the country. Since its independence in 1975, Mozambique has undergone several changes in its currency, moving from the Mozambican escudo to the metical, which remains the official currency today.

Current banknotes in circulation

The Mozambican metical, introduced in 1980, is the current currency in Mozambique. The current series of banknotes, issued in 2011, includes denominations of 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1000 metical. These banknotes feature modern designs with cultural and natural motifs of the country, such as indigenous fauna and historical monuments. The Bank of Mozambique has implemented advanced security measures on these banknotes to prevent counterfeiting.

Historical banknotes and milestones in Mozambican banknote production

Prior to independence, Mozambique used the Mozambican coat of arms, with banknotes reflecting the Portuguese colonial influence. After independence, the first metical banknotes were issued in 1980, marking an important milestone in the country's monetary history. In 2006, Mozambique undertook a redenomination of its currency, introducing the "new metical" equivalent to 1000 old meticals. This significant change in Mozambican notafilia sought to combat inflation and simplify economic transactions in the country.
