Mozambique's 1994 coinage came just two years after the Rome General Peace Accords ended a sixteen-year civil war between Frelimo and Renamo that had devastated the country's economy and infrastructure. Brass clad steel was a practical choice for a nation rebuilding its monetary system with limited resources — the same cost-driven logic that pushed many post-conflict African states away from solid alloy coins in this period.
