Identification note: Exact Pick catalog number and precise issue year depend on signatures and series details not fully determined from the photos. | Design and legends match the Banco de Angola 50 Escudos type from the Decreto de 10 de Junho de 1962: blue note with portrait of Américo Tomás at right, central vignette labeled “AEROPORTO CRAVEIRO LOPES EM LUANDA,” reverse herd at watering place, TDLR London imprint, and decree texts. These attributes securely place it in the 1962-law 50 Escudos type listed in SCWPM (Pick). Exact subtype (letter suffix) depends on signatures/series and precise issue date, which are not fully readable from the provided images (serial prefix SK alone is insufficient), so the main Pick number is given as an estimate and the signature/date varieties and adjacent numbering used in some editions are noted as alternatives.
