Angola – Former Colony Banknotes

The banknotes of the former colony of Angola form one of the most significant sets of Portuguese ultramarine paper‑money, comprising fiduciary issues produced from the late 19th century to 1975 to support the economic and administrative needs of the territory. These issues include series from the Banco Nacional Ultramarino and the Bank of Angola, covering banknotes, certificates, specimens and local fiduciary documents that illustrate monetary reforms, evolving denominations, territorial iconography and the financial structure of the colonial administration. Their diversity and historical relevance make them essential for collectors and researchers studying Portuguese overseas monetary history. Banknotes issued after Angola’s independence are not part of this category and are listed under Foreign Banknotes → Africa → Angola.
