Hey guys, welcome to a new episode of Keeping Up With Coins. So today we will be exploring this 20 quants coin from Ankola. So Ankola is an African country located in southern western part of Africa. This country was a colony of Portugal till 1975 and they got their independence and after that they started issuing this currency called Quanza. So this coin is not actually using an Ankola anymore because they have started using a new version of the Quanza, not a second quanza now. So this is the version that existed between 1977 to 1990 in Ankola. So this was actually a standard circulation coin in Ankola and as you can see this coin is made of copper nickel metal. So this coin is having a diameter of around 29.1 millimeter and is having a thickness of around 1.9 millimeters. So this coin is also having a metal alignment. I have explained what metal alignment in my previous videos. So as you can see this coin is also having a metal alignment. What I like about this coin is that the pictures that is engraved in this particular coin has a lot of meaning and association in relation to the concept of how the Ankola as a country is looking about its nature. So this coin in its oversight that is this national court of arms of Ankola. So let's close the exam and what does this court of arms of Ankola means as you can see. So there is a star here. So this star which is representing the socialistic movement that the Ankola people are like believing in. So they are having a very massive and socialistic idea involved in their culture and the way the political things are seen there. So that particular idea is being engraved through their court of arms and this star is representing that and the revolution that they have made against the postures for independence is shown by this symbol in the middle. So there is a knife like a things image there that thing is called Machete and there is a hoe there and you can see behind that there is a sun coming up. So that's actually a simple showing a new picnic and below that the education is being represented by a book. So there's see that education is very important for the development of society and everything. So on the round of that like around that you can see in this side there showing the industrial development that has to be followed and here the agriculture. So they are saying through this court of arms that both industry and agriculture is necessary for the development of the nation and in this there is a combination of maize, coffee and cotton. Like you can if you're like watching it closely you can see that this is a combination of maize, coffee and cotton one of like three of the most important agricultural products of Ankola. Now if you're like looking on the outer side of that particular thing like in the outer side of the coin you can see that there is written 11 day, now on pre-9 day 75 which is the date of independence of Ankola and in the bottom you can see that it is like a written arpe day Ankola which is the Republic of Ankola. So this is also written in the downward banner in given here you can see that clearly here also it is written on the other side of that there is a dotted it's a dotted image given on the round there is a dotted pattern given on the outward side and there there is written 20 in like very large letters and below that it's written in quances and the year of minting 1970. So this is an interesting coin from the my African collection and do let me know if you also have this coin in your collection.
