The 20 Centavos coin from Angola was designed by the Portuguese artist, António de Sousa. The obverse side of the coin features a portrait of King Manuel II of Portugal, while the reverse side features the coat of arms of Angola, which includes a shield with a golden eagle holding a scroll that reads "Angola" in Portuguese.
