Interesting fact
The 2 Franga Ari coin from Albania, minted in 1935 during the reign of King Zog I, features a unique design that blends traditional Albanian motifs with modernist elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized portrait of King Zog I, while the reverse side features an image of a double-headed eagle, which is a common symbol in Albanian heraldry.

The result is a coin that not only represents the country's rich history and culture but also showcases the artistic talent of its designer.
