A scroll at the base of the arms bears the inscription REPÚBLICA POPULAR DE MOÇAMBIQUE.

| Reverse description | The reverse features a central design commemorating the 1983–84 FAO World Fisheries Conference, depicting fishing-related imagery typical of FAO commemorative issues of the period. The legend FAO-CONFERÊNCIA MUNDIAL DAS PESCAS 1983-84 is inscribed within the field, referencing the Food and Agriculture Organization's World Fisheries Conference. The design was executed in high-relief proof style with frosted devices set against mirror-polished fields, consistent with the work of engraver Stuart Devlin. |
