Angola Banknotes Catalog
The history of banknotes in Angola reflects the economic and political evolution of this African country. Since its independence in 1975, Angola has undergone several changes in its currency and monetary system, adapting to historical and economic circumstances.
Current banknotes in circulation
Currently, the official currency of Angola is the kwanza, reintroduced in 1999. Banknotes in circulation include denominations of 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000, 2000 and 5000 kwanzas. These banknotes feature modern designs that reflect Angolan culture and fauna, with advanced security measures to prevent counterfeiting.
Old banknotes and relevant facts
Prior to the current kwanza, Angola used several currencies, including the Angolan escudo during the colonial era and the old kwanza after independence. An important milestone was the hyperinflation of the 1990s, which led to the issuance of banknotes with extremely high denominations, such as the 500,000 new kwanzas bill of 1995. The 1999 currency reform marked a new chapter in Angolan notafilia, stabilizing the currency and modernizing the design of banknotes.
