| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse displays the national coat of arms of the People's Republic of Mozambique centrally positioned in the field. The arms feature crossed AK-47 rifles and a hoe superimposed on an open book, set against a radiant sun rising over stylized waves representing the Indian Ocean. The shield is flanked by a maize stalk to the right and a sugarcane stalk to the left, surmounted by a five-pointed star above a cogwheel. A scroll at the base of the arms bears the legend 'REPÚBLICA POPULAR DE MOÇAMBIQUE' in two lines. The peripheral legend 'REPÚBLICA POPULAR DE MOÇAMBIQUE' arcs along the upper rim, with the date '1980' inscribed at the bottom, flanked by two raised dots. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Mozambique gained independence from Portugal in June 1975, and the Banco de Moçambique was established almost immediately to replace the Banco Nacional Ultramarino — the colonial institution that had controlled the territory's currency. This 1980 issue belongs to the first generation of coins produced under the FRELIMO government, at a moment when the country was simultaneously rebuilding its financial infrastructure and fighting a destabilizing insurgency backed by Rhodesian and later South African intelligence services.
The copper-nickel alloy chosen here was a deliberate step up from the lighter denominations of the same series, signaling the 20 meticais as a coin meant for substantive transactions rather than small change.
