Mozambique - 1000 Escudos 1972 - Pick 119


Note with the mark Banco de Moçambique:
These notes circulated in the Republic of Mozambique in the early days of its existence as an independent state.
With the consent of the Portuguese Government / BNU were used as plates, or copies of the latest notes issued by the BNU to Mozambique - Cologne Portuguese.
The printing of such notes was more economical and especially was very fast avoiding that lack of money could paralyze and suffocate the economy. It was therefore a solution to appeal to the Government of Mozambique.
The use of overload is a practice used with some frequency.
They were later replaced by notes in meticais.
