ALBANIA. 20 Franga Ari, 1926-R. Rome Mint. President Amet Zogu (1925-39). NGC MS-63.
Fr-4; KM-12. Better date (by availability) of the two-year issue with a mintage of 5,900 and always sought after by world gold collectors. Features a bust of Skanderbeg on the obverse, with the Lion of St. Mark depicted on the reverse. The coin was designed by Giuseppe Romagnoli at the Rome mint, and was widely despised in Albania for its depiction of purely Catholic symbolism while Albania was (and still is) predominantly Muslim. Nice example of the issue with satin luster from generally untoned surfaces with no spots or other distractions. NGC MS-63.
Estimate: $450.00- $600.00
