Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 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 economic development. Despite these efforts, however, Albania remained a relatively poor and isolated country, and the coinage issued during this period reflects the challenges and limitations of the time.
