Angolan coins reflect the country’s historical evolution from the colonial period to the establishment of the Republic of Angola after 1975. Modern Angolan numismatics highlights the transition from the escudo to the kwanza, mirroring the political, economic and social changes that shaped the nation. Contemporary issues feature national symbols, wildlife and cultural identity. Please note that coins from the former Portuguese colony of Angola belong to the colonial period and are available in the dedicated section: Portugal Coins / Former Portuguese Colonies / Angola Coins.
