In the central part is the coat of arms of Portuguese Mozambique. The coat of arms depicts a shield positioned at the center of an armillary sphere. The shield is divided into three parts. Each part contains an image: on the left - a cross composed of five small shields, each bearing five bezants (silver Byzantine coins). On the right - a stylized depiction of a ribbon, with a central knot binding an allegory of seven arrows. At the bottom - wavy lines. Above the armillary sphere is a stylized depiction of five towers. Between them are relief images of shields bearing heraldic crosses. Along the upper edge of the coin, from left to right, is the Portuguese inscription "MOÇAMBIQUE", which translates to "Mozambique". Along the lower rim, from left to right, is the inscription "10 $ 00" - "10 escudos". The inscription is flanked left and right by four-petaled relief flowers. The coin's edge features decorative raised denticles.
