Comment
Obverse= ReverseInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Token 1000 Réis 1894 from Mozambique is that it was issued during the colonial era, specifically in 1894, when Mozambique was a Portuguese colony. The coin was minted in Portugal, and it features the image of King Carlos I on one side and the coat of arms of Portugal on the other. The coin was used as a token currency in Mozambique, and it was equivalent to 1000 réis, which was a local currency used in the colony. The fact that it was made of silver (.9166) and weighs 25 grams makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
