Interesting fact
The 10 Centavos coin from Angola was designed by the artist José de Almada Negreiros, who was a prominent figure in the country's artistic community. The coin features a portrait of the Angolan national hero, Agostinho Neto, on one side, and the coat of arms of Angola on the other. The use of aluminum in the coin's production was a deliberate choice to make it more durable and resistant to corrosion, given the country's humid and tropical climate.
