The 5 Pounds Sterling 1934 banknote of the Mozambique Company belongs to the final sterling issue produced for circulation within the Company’s concession territory. Printed by Bradbury, Wilkinson & Co., it features the refined colonial design typical of high‑value notes: central allegorical vignette, Company coat of arms, ornate borders and elegant typography.

The perforation “PAGO 5.11.1942” was used for internal administrative settlements and does not affect authenticity. The signatures correspond to the official authorities of the period: António Augusto Pereira Cabral (Governor) and António de Sousa Lara (Managing Administrator).

This note represents an important historical period, marking the final phase of the Company’s financial autonomy before full integration into the Portuguese monetary system.
