Investopedia explains 'AON (Angolan Novo Kwanza)'

The Angolan novo Kwanza replaced the first kwanza (AOK) in 1990 at par. Although you would receive one novo kwanza for one old kwanza there was a restriction which only allowed conversion of 5% of old notes for new. The remaining old notes would need to be converted to government securities. Another name for the currency is the Angolan new kwanza.
