Note: Gradual stabilization after hyperinflation and civil war; new polymer banknotes issued since 2020
Angola was a Portuguese colony from 1575 until independence in 1975.
During the colonial period, currency fluctuated between the real, escudo, angolar, and escudo again, always tied to the Portuguese economy.
After independence, the kwanza was created to assert economic sovereignty, but the country faced hyperinflation, civil war, and economic instability.
Multiple monetary reforms were undertaken to control inflation and stabilize the currency, including successive redenominations.
The current kwanza stabilized after the civil war ended in 2002 but remains volatile due to oil dependence.
Coins and banknotes were initially produced in Portugal and Angola by colonial banks; after independence, by the National Bank of Angola.
Since 2020, Angola issues modern polymer banknotes.
Coins feature national symbols, Angolan flora and fauna, and historical figures.
Banknotes highlight the first president Agostinho Neto, cultural and natural elements of the country.
Kwanza symbol: Kz or simply K.
Specific print run data is not publicly available.
Agostinho Neto is the most honored figure on banknotes since independence.
Commemorative coins have been issued on national occasions and to celebrate cultural heritage.
The 2020 polymer series brought greater durability and security to banknotes.
The current kwanza (AOA) is actively circulating.
Fractional coins (lwei) have limited use due to inflation.
National Bank of Angola is the issuing and regulatory authority.
Post-independence laws established the National Bank of Angola and national monetary policy.
Monetary reforms between 1990 and 2000 regulated inflation control and restored currency confidence.
Typical signatures include the President of the National Bank of Angola and the Bank Governor.
Agostinho Neto appears as a central figure on banknotes but not as a signatory.
