Mozambique's 1990s large-format silver issues were produced during the country's fragile post-civil-war recovery, after the 1992 Rome General Peace Accords ended sixteen years of conflict between Frelimo and Renamo. The 500-gram format places this firmly in the collector bullion market rather than anything approaching circulation — Mozambique's domestic economy at the time was operating largely on aid and reconstruction funding, with the metical itself having been redenominated in 1980 after independence-era inflation.
KM#125 is part of a broader wildlife series issued through the late 1990s targeting the European and Asian collector markets.
