The Black Stones of Pungo Andongo (Malanje) will be on the 200 kwanza note, the Tundavala Rift (Huíla) will be on the 500 note and the Cordillera do Planalto Central (Huambo) will be on the 1000 kwanza note. Serra da Leba (Huíla) will be part of the 2000 kwanza banknote, while the Ruins of the Cathedral of São Salvador do Congo (Zaire) are included in the 5000 kwanza banknote and the Zenzo Caves (Uíge) will illustrate the 10,000 kwanza banknote.
