Angola Banknotes – From Colonial Escudos to Modern Kwanzas

Angolan banknotes reflect the country's rich and complex history — from Portuguese colonial rule to independence and beyond. These notes are prized among collectors for their artistic designs, historical relevance, and cultural symbolism.

Colonial & Early Banknotes

Before 1975, Angola used the Portuguese escudo. Colonial notes issued by Banco de Angola feature Portuguese designs and colonial iconography. Early post-independence issues, known as the first and second kwanzas, often included revolutionary themes and national pride symbols.

Modern Kwanza

The current Angolan currency is the kwanza (AOA). Modern banknotes are issued by the Banco Nacional de Angola and include advanced security features, colorful visuals, and portraits of Angolan heroes and landmarks. Recent series promote heritage, economic development, and unity.
