Angolan angolar. The angolar (plural: angolares) was the currency of Portuguese Angola between 1928 and 1958. It was subdivided into 100 centavos or 20 macutas. Angolar is Portuguese for "of Angola". History The angolar was introduced in 1928 to replace the escudo. Banknotes were exchanged at a rate of 1 angolar = 1.25 escudos. However, the exchange rate with the Portuguese escudo remained at par, indicating that the earlier Angolan banknotes were devalued as part of the reform, rather than the angolar actually having a new, higher value. Coins (all denominated in centavos and macutas) were unaffected by the reform. In 1958, the name of the currency was switched back to escudo after a period of time during which coins denominated in escudos had already begun to circulate. Coins In addition to those coins already circulating (1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 centavos), new 10, 20 and 50 centavo...

Angolan real. The real (plural r??is) was the currency of Portuguese Angola until 1914. It was equal to the Portuguese real. No subdivisions existed, but some coins were issued denominated in macutas, worth 50 r??is. The real was replaced by the escudo in 1914. Coins In the mid-eighteenth century, copper coins were issued in denominations of 10, 20 and 40 r??is, 1???4, 1???2 and 1 macuta, along with silver 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 macutas. From 1814, only copper 1???4, 1???2, 1 and 2 macutas were issued. However, after 1814, some copper coins were counterstamped with the coat of arms of Portugal to double their value. 10, 20 and 40 r??is and 1???4, 1???2, 1 and 2 macuta coins were counterstamped to produce 20, 40 and 80 r??is and...

Angolan kwanza. The kwanza (sign: Kz; ISO 4217 code: AOA) is the currency of Angola. Four different currencies using the name kwanza have circulated since 1977. The currency derives its name from the Kwanza River (which is also written as: Cuanza, Coanza, Quanza). Overview First kwanza, AOK, 1977???1990 Kwanza was introduced following Angolan independence. It replaced the escudo at par and was subdivided into 100 lwei. Its ISO 4217 code was AOK. Following a change in currency, a confiscation took place. Individuals could convert up to 200,000 escudos for kwanzas and corporations up to 1,500,000 escudos. This kwanza had a remarkably stable exchange rate of 29.918 kwanzas to the U.S. dollar for the entire period. Coins The first coins issued for...

Angolan escudo. The escudo was the currency of Angola between 1914 and 1928 and again between 1958 and 1977. It was subdivided into 100 centavos with the macuta worth 5 centavos and was equivalent to the Portuguese escudo. History The introduction of the escudo in Portugal's colonies took place in 1914, three years after it occurred in Portugal. The escudo replaced the real at a rate of 1000 r??is = 1 escudo. In 1928, the angolar was introduced. Banknotes were exchanged at a rate of 1.25 escudos = 1 angolar, whilst centavo coins used with the escudo continued to be used with the angolar with no change in value. The angolar was pegged at parity with the Portuguese escudo, as the Angolan escudo had been before 1928. Thus, the currency reform constituted a devaluation of the escudo banknotes. In 1953, Portugal began unifying the currencies of its colonies. This process was completed in Angola at the end of 1958, with the...
