| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of the People's Republic of Mozambique occupies the central field, featuring crossed rifle and hoe over an open book, set against a rising sun with radiating rays, all above stylized ocean waves. A star appears at the apex of the device, flanked by stalks of maize and sugarcane tied with a ribbon. A cartouche within the arms bears the legend REPUBLICA POPULAR DE MOCAMBIQUE. The circular outer legend REPUBLICA POPULAR DE MOCAMBIQUE runs along the periphery, with the date 1986 positioned in the exergue at the bottom. |

A horizontal line divides the central design from the lower field, beneath which the denomination METICAL is inscribed in bold capital letters. A decorative scalloped border runs along the inner periphery of the coin. |
