| Obverse description | A portrait of Samora Moisés Machel, first President of Mozambique, is positioned to the right of centre, accompanied by a vignette of a tree with a bird perched on a branch functioning as an optical register device. The Banco de Moçambique logo appears alongside the denomination and issuer inscriptions in Portuguese. The overall design incorporates security underprint elements characteristic of modern polymer issues. |

Mozambique's switch to polymer for its lower denominations has been incremental, and this 2024 issue continues that transition. De La Rue supplied the polymer substrate — Mozambique has no domestic security printing capacity and has relied on foreign contractors across multiple series.
Pick 155 is recent enough that secondary market data on varieties or errors remains thin. The optical register device — a window element visible from both sides in alignment — is a basic polymer security feature, present here in its simplest implementation rather than the more elaborate RAPID or transparent window formats used on higher-value notes in other African series.
