pair of new purchases - Angola

Ricke

Heres a couple pieces from Portuguese Angola. I found the 1762 at a coin show back in November, then I picked up the 1796 piece a couple weeks ago at a coin shop. I had never seen the type before, which isn't really surprising since the mintage is pretty low. Krause records the 1796 as only 20,000, and a one year type.

That's what I like a collecting World Coins ,,,, history lesson with each one.

Nice pick-ups
