Portugal seemed to have forgotten about Angola and its economic needs in the second quarter of the 19th century. It was only in 1848 that new coins were finally struck but there was only one denomination - half macuta equal to 25 reis. This is the final issue as in 1853 Queen Maria II died. Her son Pedro V issued some more half macutas and added massive one macuta coins in 1860 but this was the end of coins for Angola for over sixty years.

I swooped up an amazing 1793 Bermuda penny only to find out in hand thats its actually a much rarer Pridmore 7/Km#7 restrike, another gem for my George III collection

Put together this British India set, and found a decent case for it.

Half rupee was the hardest to get in decent condition, total budget was £150 I think I'd have to double check though.
