Comment
Minted in the People's Republic of ChinaInteresting fact
The 10 Qindarka coin was designed by the Albanian artist, M.A. Meksi, and it features a unique blend of traditional Albanian motifs and modernist elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized image of a woman wearing a traditional Albanian costume, while the reverse side features a geometric pattern inspired by Albanian folk art. The use of aluminum as the material for the coin was a deliberate choice to symbolize the country's rich mineral resources and its commitment to industrialization. Despite being a small country, Albania has a rich history and culture, and coins like the 10 Qindarka 1964 serve as a testament to its unique identity.
