Silver coin of the Portuguese Republic minted for the colony of Angola, with a design of strong colonial symbolic significance. The obverse shows the Portuguese national shield superimposed on an armillary sphere, surrounded by the legend REPÚBLICA PORTUGUESA and the date, a characteristic element of metropolitan issues of the period. The reverse features the specific shield of Angola, crowned and placed over the armillary sphere, with the value 20$00 at the bottom and floral motifs on the sides balancing the composition. The piece exhibits an attractive light silver tone, well-defined reliefs in the heraldic quarters and on the sphere, and a solid, balanced aesthetic, representative of Portuguese colonial issues from the mid-20th century.
