Zog I gold "10th Anniversary of Reign" 100 Franga Ari 1938-R MS62 Prooflike PCGS, Rome mint, KM26, Fr-15. A popular one-year type, distinguished from its "Royal Wedding" counterpart by the reverse legend and boasting the same small mintage of just 500 coins total. A superior example and assigned an appropriate Prooflike designation, dressed in highly reflective, glassy surfaces hosting an as-struck level of detail, fully elevated and projecting towards the viewer when in hand. We note the current example remains the only piece in either census, out of 40 examples total, to receive the covetable and apparently extremely scarce "PL" superlative.
