Interesting fact

The Token 500 Réis 1894 from Mozambique was minted during the time of Portuguese colonial rule in Mozambique, and it features an image of King Carlos I of Portugal on one side and the coat of arms of Mozambique on the other. This coin was used as a form of currency in Mozambique during the late 19th century and is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item.
