Interesting fact
The ½ Macuta - Maria I 1789 coin from Angola was made of copper, which was a common material used for coinage in many parts of the world at that time. However, what makes this coin stand out is that it was produced during a time when Angola was still a colony of Portugal, and the coin's design reflects this history. The obverse side of the coin features an image of Maria I, the Queen of Portugal, while the reverse side features the coat of arms of Angola, which was a Portuguese colony at the time. This coin is a unique piece of history that highlights the cultural and economic ties between Portugal and Angola during the late 18th century.
