| Additional information |
No 100 Meticais denomination in silver exists in the official Mozambican coinage record for 1987, and "Matades" corresponds to no known Mozambican monetary unit — the currency introduced after independence in 1980 was the metical. This piece is a fantasy issue, produced outside any governmental authorization, almost certainly by a private European mint supplying the collector market with invented denominations tied to recognizable but poorly documented nations.
