Interesting fact
The Pattern 2.50 Escudos (Trial) 1953-1974 from Angola made of Copper-nickel weighing 3.5 g is a rare and unique coin, with only a few examples known to exist. It was minted during the colonial era, when Angola was a Portuguese colony, and features a design that was never officially adopted for circulation. The coin's rarity and historical significance make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
