KM-7; Mont-44. Sower walking right. Issued under King Zog while president prior to his self-coronation as king of Albania several years later. Designed by Giuseppe Romagnoli and instantly recognizable as a product of his artistic talent. Nearly all white with a few tone speckles, radiant luster and a super strike that brings out all of the details.
