Casa Amarela, National Coin Museum in KaMpfumo district, Mozambique.
The Casa Amarela stands as a single-story L-shaped structure with an interior courtyard and large windows extending near the ground level.
Built in 1787, Casa Amarela represented one of the initial stone-and-lime constructions within the Lourenço Marques trading settlement, later serving as a governor residence.
The museum collection includes ancient currency forms such as cowrie shells, iron ingots, and gold-filled feather quills from the Bantu empires period.
The National Museum of Money operates under Eduardo Mondlane University administration and maintains exhibitions about currency evolution in Mozambique.
The exterior walls display an ochre color scheme and house extensive collections of Bank of Beira pounds and colonial period monetary artifacts.
