Hi radderfire,

This is from a set of Angolan stamps from 1961 (Scott 419-432B). It's either the 15c value (Scott 420) or the 15e value (Scott 432).

It is #420, The tradition of Portugal and it's colonies during this period was if the $ sign preceded the demomination like $50, was the same as .50, higher demominations could be found as 2$50 = 2.50 or 15$ = 15.00. this system make it somewhat confusing for Americans, Canadians & Australians actually most people. lol
