Interesting 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.
