Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1998 Mozambique 200 Escudos Palladium coin is that it has a unique design, featuring the image of a lion on one side and the coat of arms of Mozambique on the other. This design was created by the Portuguese artist, José Aurélio, and it is said that the lion represents the strength and courage of the Mozambican people. Additionally, the coin's Palladium composition and limited mintage make it a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
