| Comments |
Banco Nacional Ultramarino was the note-issuing authority for Portugal's overseas territories, and by 1963 this 100 Escudos note was circulating in Angola — a colony entering a period of serious armed insurgency, with the MPLA and FNLA both active following the 1961 uprisings. The six distinct signature combinations on P#28 reflect a long print run spanning multiple board appointments, a common feature of BNU colonial issues that complicates precise dating within the series.
Bradbury Wilkinson's New Malden facility was the dominant supplier for Portuguese colonial currency through the late colonial period, handling both Angola and Mozambique issues concurrently.
