| Obverse description | Central field features a colorized rendition of the national emblem of Papua New Guinea, depicting a Raggiana bird-of-paradise with outstretched wings perched above a traditional kundu drum and spears, rendered in gold tones on a white field. The denomination 'dollar' and numeral '1' appear in the upper portion of the field above the emblem. A broad yellow ring surrounds the central device, bearing the curved legend 'BOUGAINVILLE ISLAND' along the upper arc. The date '2017' is inscribed along the lower arc within the yellow ring. |

| Additional information |
Angola has no historical or monetary connection to Papua New Guinea, and no documented reason exists for PNG to have issued a dollar-denominated coin bearing Angola's name in 2017. This piece almost certainly originates from one of several private minting operations that produce souvenir or fantasy issues attributed to real nations — Papua New Guinea's name lends nominal legitimacy while the "Angola" subject fills a thematic series. It is not legal tender in any meaningful sense.
