Interesting fact

The 20 Centavos coin from Mozambique was designed by the Portuguese artist, José de Almada Negreiros, who was also a prominent painter, sculptor, and writer. The coin features a portrait of the Mozambican revolutionary leader, Eduardo Mondlane, who played a key role in the country's struggle for independence from Portugal. The coin's design is a nod to Mozambique's rich history and cultural heritage, and it continues to be a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
