Interesting fact
The 1 Centimo coin from Mozambique was designed by the artist José Joaquim António de Matos, who was a prominent sculptor and engraver from Portugal. The coin features a portrait of Samora Machel, the first president of Mozambique, on the obverse side, and the country's coat of arms on the reverse side. It's worth noting that the coin was not circulated and was only produced as a collector's item. Additionally, the coin's weight of 0.9 grams is relatively light for a coin of its size, which is likely due to the use of aluminum as the material.
