Interesting fact
The 2 Franga Ari coin was designed by the Albanian artist, V. K. M. K. (Vangjel Koça M. K.) and features a unique blend of traditional Albanian motifs and modernist elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized image of a double-headed eagle, which is a common symbol in Albanian culture, while the reverse side features a geometric pattern of circles and lines that give the coin a distinctly modern look. This blend of traditional and modern design elements makes the 2 Franga Ari coin a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
