Lightweight coins exist weighing 10.96 grams.Interesting fact
The 1 Macuta coin from Angola, featuring João Prince Regent, was minted during a time of great change in the country. In 1814, the Portuguese Empire, which had colonized Angola, was in the midst of a political crisis, with the Portuguese King, João VI, fleeing to Brazil to escape the invading armies of Napoleon. This coin was minted during the regency of João Prince Regent, who ruled in the king's absence, and it reflects the tumultuous time period in which it was created. Despite the challenges faced by the Portuguese Empire during this time, the 1 Macuta coin remains a valuable and interesting piece of numismatic history.
