Interesting fact

The 100 Lekë coin featuring Gjergj Kastrioti Skënderbeu, issued in 2018 by the Bank of Albania, has a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of Skënderbeu, a 15th-century Albanian national hero, while the reverse side depicts a stylized image of the Albanian flag. However, if you look closely, you'll notice that the flag's colors are not in the usual order. Instead of the traditional red, black, and yellow, the colors are arranged in a different sequence, with yellow at the top, followed by black, and then red at the bottom. This unusual color arrangement was intentionally designed to symbolize the country's rich cultural heritage and its diversity.
