This 100,000 Meticais is dated 16 June 1993 and was put into circulation on 1 March 1995, signed by governor Adriano Maleiane. In 2006 the metical was redenominated, with 1,000 old meticais becoming 1 new metical, and this note was finally demonetised at the end of 2012. The Cahora Bassa dam on the back, on the Zambezi River, was completed in 1974 and is still one of the biggest hydroelectric power stations in Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🎨 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFront:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Banco de Moçambique headquarters building in Maputo and the coat of arms of Mozambique, with a see-through maize-stalk registration device.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBack:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Cahora Bassa hydroelectric dam on the Zambezi River, the Bank of Mozambique seal and a stylised electricity motif.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🔍 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumismatic Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 165 × 69 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circulating banknote (demonetised 2012)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrency:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mozambican metical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mozambique\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIssuing Authority:\u003c\/strong\u003e Banco de Moçambique\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 June 1993\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Governor Adriano Maleiane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWatermark:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bank of Mozambique logo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✅ \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition Guide:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUNC (Uncirculated).\u003c\/strong\u003e A crisp, uncirculated note with no folds, creases or handling marks, retaining its original sheen and sharp corners.
