1949 Angola Bronze 20 Centavos AU
Struck during the mid-century era, this 1949 bronze coin from Angola represents a fascinating chapter in African numismatic history. Minted in Lisbon, Portugal, the coin features a design that reflects the political landscape of its time, carrying the catalog designation KM-71. With a historical mintage of 2,150,000 pieces, this particular specimen survives in an impressive Almost Uncirculated condition. The obverse of the coin displays a crowned coat of arms positioned directly above the 1949 year of issue. Surrounding this central emblem is the inscription indicating its status as a colony, spelled out as COLONIA DE ANGOLA. On the reverse, the coin features a clean and functional layout. The denomination of 20 CENTAVOS is presented clearly in the center, surrounded by a decorative border. This bronze issue offers a tangible look at the coinage circulating in southwestern Africa during the late 1940s.
