1/4 Macuta Equipaga - José I

正面描述	Crowned Portuguese royal coat of arms occupying the central field, featuring the traditional escutcheon with the five quinas and the bordure of castles, surmounted by a royal crown. The armorial shield is rendered in moderate relief with fine engraving detail typical of 18th-century colonial coinage. The circular legend surrounds the arms, reading JOSEPHUS·I·D·G·REX·P·ET·D·GUINEÆ, identifying King José I of Portugal as sovereign and Lord of Guinea. The inscription is set in upright Latin lettering running along the outer rim.

附加信息	Angola's copper coinage of this period was produced under the Portuguese colonial administration at a time when the slave trade dominated the Luanda economy — the macuta system itself was designed partly to facilitate transactions in that trade, functioning alongside commodity currencies like cloth and iron. José I, for whom this piece was struck, was king during the catastrophic 1755 Lisbon earthquake, and the subsequent reconstruction demands on the crown treasury made colonial revenue streams, including Angolan copper issues, administratively significant.
