Angola's first paper money. The Junta da Fazenda Pública — the provincial treasury board, not a bank — issued these notes under a Portuguese colonial fiscal authority that predated any formal banking presence in the territory. The Banco Nacional Ultramarino, which would eventually dominate Angolan note issue, wasn't established until 1864 and didn't begin operating in Luanda until years later, so these Junta notes filled a real gap in local commerce during a period of significant Portuguese administrative reorganization in West Africa.
Printing arrangements for this series remain poorly documented. Pick lists it without a confirmed printer, and surviving examples are rare enough that census data is thin.
