| Additional information |
Mozambique's 2004 Athens Olympics issues were produced under the broader wave of licensed Olympic coinage programs that flooded the market in the early 2000s, with dozens of nations — many having no athletic presence at the Games whatsoever — contracting with private mints to produce collector pieces. This specific piece is a pattern, meaning it was struck as a submission or approval piece prior to authorizing the main issue, and was never released into circulation in this form.
Pattern distinctions for this series are rarely documented in depth, and surviving examples tend to appear without comprehensive provenance.
