1960 Mozambique 10 centimes?

Did Mozambique ever issue a coin in 1960 called a "centimes"? I'm looking
thru the SCWC and can't find it there. They did issue a "centavos" and I'm
thinking the dealer ad I'm looking at is just a misspelling. They also issued
a 10 "centimos" but not dated 1960. They say "catalogs at $3 each" Assuming
they really mean the "centimes" the SCWC says $1.50 in Unc. in the 2000
edition. Have Mozambique coins increased in value enough to go up 100%
in just a few years?

I think I'll have to poke around ebay a bit and see what I can find.

In the 2002 edition the 10 Centavos issued under Portuguese rule in 1960
lists for $3.00 in Unc. The 10 Centimos issued in 1975 after independance
lists at $95.00 in Unc.
