Angola's 2003 currency reform replaced the readjustado, which had been introduced in 1995 itself as a replacement for the original kwanza — three currencies in under a decade, each shedding zeros from a denomination structure gutted by hyperinflation that peaked above 4,000% annually in the mid-1990s. By the time this note entered circulation, the country was months removed from the February 2002 ceasefire that ended 27 years of civil war. Oberthur Fiduciaire, a longtime supplier to francophone and lusophone African issuers, handled production throughout the series run.
The P#150 ran across two distinct date varieties within the 2003–2011 window, worth distinguishing when cataloging.
