Angolan angolar

CUR-V27-ANGOLAR · Research draft
One scoped currency identity. Changes to subdivisions, scale, standard, instruments or issuers do not by themselves create children. A distinct account unit can remain a successor.
Dated observations: 1914–1958; this does not establish the entire lifetime.

Angolar succeeds escudo accounting adopted locally from the metropolitan system in 1914; the1926act explicitly replaces the existing local escudo account unit. This compresses the intervening regional separation, without creating an issuer-only1914node or asserting conversion of metropolitan obligations.
