This specimen was lot 70151 in Stack's Bowers Collector's Choice sale (Santa Ana, CA, May 2018), where it sold for $65. The catalog description[1] noted, "ANGOLA. 1/2 Macuta, 1763. NGC VF-20 BN. From a seldom seen type struck 1762-63 and 1770. Nice chocolate brown surfaces." This type was struck for Angola in Lisbon. The Portuguese landed in 1491 and immediately made the region a major slaving station, which trade would not end until the 1850's when the British Royal Navy interdicted the trade. The later nineteenth century was devoted to resource extraction and fending off attempts by the other colonizing powers to seize territory.
Recorded mintage: 133,000.
