Interesting fact
The 50 Centavos coin from Angola, minted between 1922 and 1923, is interesting because it was made of nickel, a metal that is commonly used for coins, but was not commonly used for circulating coins at that time. This coin was also relatively lightweight, weighing only 10.5 grams, making it easy to handle and transport.
