| Obverse lettering | COLONIA DE MOÇAMBIQUE 10$00 |
| Reverse description | The Portuguese royal arms — the quinas shield — centrally positioned atop an armillary sphere rendered in stylized form, the whole framed by four elongated Maltese cross arms radiating to the coin's edge, creating a bold cruciform composition. The encircling legend REPUBLICA PORTUGUESA runs along the upper and lateral periphery, interrupted by the cross arms, with the date 1936 flanked by raised dots in the lower field. The overall design reflects the Estado Novo colonial iconography combining republican and navigational symbolism. |

| Additional information |
Portugal's 1936 coinage was produced under the Estado Novo regime, consolidated after Salazar's effective seizure of economic control in 1932. The 10 Escudos series of this period was among the first silver coinage issued under fully stabilized escudo policy following years of monetary turbulence tied to the unstable First Republic. Mintages were relatively modest, and examples that avoided the melting pot during later silver drives tend to show honest circulation wear rather than the cleaning damage that plagues so many survivors.
KM#67 is the single-year type for this denomination in .835 silver before wartime pressures eventually reshaped Portuguese alloy decisions in the 1940s.
