Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1938 Albanian 20 Franga Ari - Zog I (10th Anniversary of Reign) coin is that it was issued during a time of significant political and social change in Albania. The coin was minted in 1938, which was just a year after the country's monarch, King Zog I, had declared Albania's independence from Italy. This move marked a significant shift in Albania's political landscape, as the country had previously been under Italian rule for several years. The coin's issuance was likely a way for the Albanian government to commemorate this important event and to promote national pride and unity.
