1 Angolar

The Junta da Moeda issues of 1926 represent Angola's first domestically-branded paper currency under the Angolar system, which replaced the Rei-based notes following Portugal's post-WWI monetary reorganization across its colonies. Thomas De La Rue handled the printing, as they did for much of the Portuguese colonial currency output during this period — a relationship that gave these provincial issues their characteristic engraved quality despite the modest denominations involved.

The Angolar itself was pegged at 1:1 with the Portuguese Escudo but administered separately, a colonial accounting distinction that lasted until the 1950s.
