Angola's kwanza reajustado was introduced in 1995 as a stopgap unit equal to 1,000 of the preceding kwanzas, itself already a replacement currency — the country was effectively on its third monetary identity since independence, each one collapsing under wartime hyperinflation and UNITA-disrupted supply chains. A five-million-unit denomination in any currency signals how badly things had deteriorated.
Giesecke & Devrient's Leipzig facility, the former East German plant absorbed into the reunified firm after 1990, handled the print run — one of many African contracts the facility took on through the 1990s.
