| Aanvullende informatie |
Portugal's Estado Novo regime issued this coin for Mozambique under the colonial monetary framework that kept Mozambican currency tied to Lisbon rather than any local authority. The 1952 date marks the beginning of a decade when African independence movements were accelerating across the continent — Guinea-Conakry gained independence in 1958, and internal pressure on Portuguese Africa was already building. Portugal would not relinquish Mozambique until 1975, after a protracted guerrilla war launched by FRELIMO in 1964.
The .720 silver content reflects a postwar austerity in colonial coinage that the Portuguese applied consistently across their African territories from the early 1950s onward.
