10 Centavos

Banco Nacional Ultramarino's 10 Centavos of 1921 was issued for Mozambique at a moment when the colony's currency infrastructure was in genuine disarray — postwar inflation had driven low-denomination coin out of circulation entirely, forcing the BNU to plug the gap with fractional paper. These small-value emergency notes were a practical fix, not a planned series.

Bradbury, Wilkinson handled the printing, as they did for much of the BNU's colonial output during this period. Notes of this denomination circulated hard and were rarely preserved; surviving examples in any condition are substantially scarcer than the catalog frequency of the type might suggest.
