I have added this 1000 escudos note to my other three notes, thus completing my collection for this first post independence series. These notes were previously released by the Portuguese occupier and were first issued in Mozambique in 1970 for the 50 escudos, 1961 for the 100 escudos, 1967 for the 500 escudos and 1972 for the 1000 escudos. Mozambique became independent on 08.09.1974 and have decided to continue using the colonial currency until they can develop with a new currency with their own identity and value. In order to show that these are post-independence series, all notes issued are printed with the new central bank's name - Banco de Moçambique on the front. In 1980, the first 'Metical' currency was introduced.
