| Beschrijving voorzijde | The central field bears the crowned Portuguese royal arms, depicting the quartered shield with the traditional escutcheons of Portugal, surmounted by an elaborate royal crown with ornamental detailing. The shield is rendered in high relief against a plain field. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, running along the periphery between two milled borders. The overall design reflects the neoclassical engraving style characteristic of Portuguese colonial coinage of the early 19th century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Angola's macuta coinage occupied a peculiar administrative space — issued under Portuguese authority but denominated in a unit of account that had evolved from local trade currency, the macuta itself rooted in cloth-based exchange systems predating the colonial mint. By the time João served as Prince Regent (his mother Maria I having been declared incapacitated in 1799), the Angolan copper issues were functionally disconnected from Lisbon's monetary planning, produced in response to chronic small-denomination shortages in Luanda's colonial economy.
The Gomes suffix ".0x" indicates multiple die marriages documented within the type — collectors should verify specific die combination against auction plate coins before attributing.
