Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1¼ Meticais - Maria II ND (1835) coin from Mozambique is that it was minted during the reign of Queen Maria II of Portugal, who ruled from 1837 to 1853. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during her reign that were intended to help modernize the economy of Mozambique, which was a Portuguese colony at the time. The coin's design features an image of the queen on one side and the coat of arms of Portugal on the other. It is made of gold (.9166) and weighs 7.2 grams. Despite its age, this coin remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
