| Obverse description | The Portuguese colonial arms are displayed prominently in the center of the coin, featuring the traditional shield with castles and bezants, set against an ornamental background with radiating lines suggesting an armillary sphere. The legend ANGOLA arcs along the upper periphery in large raised letters, while the four-digit date is positioned along the lower periphery. The entire design is framed by a beaded border running along the rim. The overall style is characteristic of early twentieth-century Portuguese colonial coinage. |
