About this banknote
The Banco da Beira was the issuing authority for this 10 centavos banknote from Mozambique, issued in 1919. This period marked a time of heavy European colonial influence, and local currency issues helped facilitate trade within the colony under Portuguese dominion.
The front of the banknote bears intricate designs with the denomination "DEZ CENTAVOS" prominently displayed. It also features the date "15 de Setembro de 1919" and specific details about the bank’s authority. The back side showcases detailed guilloche patterns with the denomination numerals "10" on both sides. This note, Pick number R1, was printed by Bradbury Wilkinson & Co., London.
