Coat of arms of the Republic of Mozambique 1990-, date below.

The national emblem of Mozambique was adopted in 1990. It shows a gear wheel, bordered by corn stalks and sugarcane. In the middle there is a red sun over a map of Mozambique in green, and blue waves, an AK-47 crossed with a hoe, and a book. The wreath is tied with a ribbon bearing the name of the country in Portuguese.

Leopard's head facing, value below.

The leopard (Panthera pardus) is one of the five "big cats" in the genus Panthera. It is similar in appearance to the jaguar, but has a smaller, lighter physique. Its fur is marked with rosettes similar to those of the jaguar, but the leopard's rosettes are smaller and more densely packed, and do not usually have central spots as the jaguar's do. Both leopards and jaguars that are melanistic are known as black panthers.
