In a ceremony that took place today 7 July 2020, José de Lima Massano, Governor of the Banco Nacional de Angola, presented the new banknotes of the 2020 family.

All notes show in the front the portrait of Dr. António Agostinho Neto, Angola’s first President. On the back they show Angolan natural beauties. (Please see our posting of 20 December 2019).

The denominations of 200 through 2,000 kwanzas were printed on polymer substrate. The ones of 5,000 kwanzas are printed on cotton paper substrate.
