Angola 5,000 Kwanzas Banknote (1991 Issue)

Original 5,000 Kwanzas banknote issued by the Banco Nacional de Angola, dated 4 February 1991. This note features the iconic double portrait of Agostinho Neto and José Eduardo dos Santos, two central figures in Angolas post-independence history.

The reverse depicts Quedas de Kalandula (Kalandula Falls), one of Africas largest and most scenic waterfalls, making this issue particularly attractive to collectors of African and scenic-themed banknotes.

Printed on paper using traditional intaglio and offset techniques, this denomination formed part of Angolas high-inflation period and was later demonetised, ensuring its continued availability solely within the numismatic market.
