Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 100 Franga Ari - Zog I (10th Anniversary of Reign) 1938 coin from Albania is that it was issued during a time of significant political and social change in the country. Zog I, who was the King of Albania from 1928 to 1939, implemented a number of modernizing reforms during his reign, including the creation of a new constitution, the establishment of a parliamentary system of government, and the promotion of education and infrastructure development. Despite these efforts, Albania faced significant challenges during this period, including border disputes with neighboring countries and internal political instability. The coin's issuance in 1938, just a year before Zog I's abdication and the subsequent occupation of Albania by Italy, highlights the complex and tumultuous political climate of the time.
