Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Escudos coin from Mozambique is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the country. The coin was introduced in 1938, just a few years after Mozambique became a Portuguese colony, and it was used until 1949, when the country gained its independence. During this time, the coin was used as a symbol of Portuguese rule and was widely used in trade and commerce. Despite its historical significance, the coin is still widely available and is considered a valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
