Interesting fact
The 1 Macuta coin from Angola, featuring Maria I and Pedro III, is interesting because it was issued during a time of colonial rule, specifically by the Portuguese Empire. The coin was minted in 1770-1786 and made of copper, which was a common material for coins at that time. Despite being a standard circulation coin, it has become a sought-after collector's item due to its historical significance and the fact that it is no longer in circulation.
