The 1,000,000 Kwanzas banknote issued in 1995 by the Banco Nacional de Angola marks one of the highest denominations printed during a period of economic hyperinflation. This uncirculated note features elaborate engravings of national symbols, official seals, and intricate design elements that reflect Angola’s identity amid financial turbulence. A rare and prestigious collectible, this high-denomination note is a standout piece for serious numismatists and specialist collections.
