Interesting fact

The 1 Lek coin from Albania was designed by the artist, K. Kasso, and it features an image of a woman with a laurel wreath on the obverse side, while the reverse side shows the denomination and the year of minting. The coin was made of zinc and weighs 3.2 grams. It's interesting to note that this coin was minted during a time of great change in Albania, as the country was transitioning from a monarchy to a communist state.
