| Obverse description | The obverse displays the crowned colonial arms of Mozambique at center, comprising a quartered shield bearing the Portuguese quinas (five escutcheons arranged in cross) in the upper left and a stylized armillary sphere to the right, with wavy lines representing the sea in the base. The circular legend COLONIA DE MOÇAMBIQUE runs along the upper periphery, while the date 1936, flanked by small pellets, appears at the bottom of the field. The design is rendered in a bold, slightly archaic heraldic style typical of Portuguese colonial coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features the large, bold numeral '20' prominently displayed at the center of the field, with the denomination CENTAVOS inscribed in smaller lettering immediately below. The circular legend REPUBLICA PORTUGUESA arcs around the upper and left periphery, with a small pellet stop at the lower right completing the inscription. The design is stark and typographic, with no additional decorative elements, emphasizing clarity of denomination in the tradition of Portuguese Republican coinage. |
