[QUOTE="Stork, post: 3718948, member: 71642"]My latest treasure arrived yesterday (excellent timing considering this recent topic). I had a respectable version, but this one is super sweet. In 1926 there were allegedly two versions (well, kind of-sort of three actually) of the 20 FrA listed, both minted in Rome. This is the common one, the Prince Skanderbeg (hero of Albania) bust obverse with a winged lion reverse. Both super cool designs IMO. It is in an uncommon degree of condition. It's far nicer than the one I'm replacing with it. 1927 is much easier to find in above average preservation! Now if I could only find the 1931 base metal coins in decent shape (not to mention the one star 1927 100 FrA and the 50 FrA...then I think I'll have all of Zog's non-proof/non-prova coins that actually exist--vs a couple hypothetical ones listed in Krause).
