AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A legendary and highly coveted rarity in Portuguese colonial numismatics, widely considered the rarest regular-issue circulation coin of the Portuguese Republic period for Angola. Struck in copper-nickel during the critical transitional year of 1974, this piece belonged to a final colonial mintage that was largely withheld or prevented from entering regular commercial circulation due to the sudden political changes and subsequent independence of the territory.
Catalog Reference: KM# 81
Composition: Copper-Nickel
Weight: 7.10 g
Diameter: 24.5 mm
Mintage: Nominal theoretical mintage exists, but the survival and actual circulation rate are exceptionally low.
The obverse presents the five crowns above the provincial arms and value, while the reverse features the national shield framed by "REPUBLICA PORTUGUESA" and the 1974 date. Preserves pristine mint luster and sharp, uncirculated details with zero commercial wear. A major prize for advanced collections of Portuguese colonial or modern world rarities.
