Portuguese Angola. D. Maria I (1786-1799). 1 Macuta 1789 - Lisboa - Escassa (No reserve price)

This 1 Macuta coin from Portuguese Angola dated 1789 was minted during the reign of Queen Maria I. The Macuta was a denomination used exclusively in the Angolan colony under Portuguese administration and reflects the economic practices and currency circulation of the period. Portuguese colonial coinage often bore the monarch's titles and symbols representing the crown. Such coins are significant for collectors interested in African colonial history and the evolution of currency systems in overseas territories. Given its scarcity, the 1789 Macuta highlights both regional economic history and the broader influence of Portugal in Africa during the late 18th century.
