Evidence coverage: 1911–1980. This is the span of collected observations, not the currency’s lifetime.
This record includes associated currencies and earlier interpretations. The article selects the evidence relevant to its own history.
A documented account-unit or currency-system transition supports this predecessor identity; not admitted from a specimen or inherited label alone.
Evidence within this identity, not separate currencies.

The 1913 law expressly imports metropolitan account rules and requires equivalence of existing obligations; represent a qualified Portuguese-system regional branch into Mozambique, with unresolved earlier territorial differentiation. This is account adoption, not inferred solely from a peg. 1911–1914 is a legal-adoption window, not first circulation. Do not treat the Chartered Company territory as covered by every later state-administered monetary reform.
Corrected interpretation: Revision 27 supplies a new evidence basis for R-V25-005. Account adoption firm; law alone doesnot prove newlydistinct regionalunit. Preserve profilepending independentboundary evidence. Replacement evidence: C1583.
