A new coin.
The Angola 10 kwanzas silver coin 1999 honors the great Portuguese explorer Prince Henry the Navigator (1394–1460), whose vision and support for maritime expeditions opened the Age of Discovery. The obverse presents a finely detailed portrait of Prince Henry in armor and cap, holding a spear. Behind him, a caravel ship sails under stylized winds, symbolizing exploration, while a compass rose radiates, marking the dawn of global navigation. His name encircles the design: Prince Henry the Navigator, alongside the dual dates 1394–1460, and the denomination 10 Kwanzas. The reverse features the coat of arms of the Republic of Angola, with star, rising sun, gear, machete, book, and wreath, encircled by Republica de Angola and the year 1999. Struck in proof quality silver and graded PR69DCAM by PCGS, this coin exhibits superb contrast and near-perfect preservation. A prestigious issue connecting Angola’s history with the Portuguese maritime legacy, it is an outstanding addition to world history and exploration-themed collections.
