1993 - Angola 100.000 Kwanzas banknote MISTAKE P133x

Angola 100,000 Kwanzas banknote associated with 1993 and catalogued under Pick P133. This is the error variety identified as P133x, in which the security elements carry an incorrect 10,000 denomination instead of the note’s 100,000 Kwanzas value.

The design uses orange and aqua colouring on an emerald-green and multicolour underprint. Conjoined portraits of José Eduardo dos Santos and António Agostinho Neto appear on the front, with signature 18 recorded for the type. The reverse depicts a herd of sable antelope and a shell, with the arms positioned at lower left.

The watermark repeats the conjoined portraits. For the P133x error, microprinting around the watermark reads “10000 BNA”, the latent print reads “10000 DEZ MIL”, and the watermark denomination is 10,000. The catalogue associates the type with the date 4.2.1991 (1993).
