<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Markus1959, post: 2096272, member: 73174&quot;]2 stainless steel coins were produced in the year 1941; an Italian coin to the value of 1 lira, and an Albanian 1 Lek coin. Both the coins bore inscriptions King Vittorio Emanuele III who abdicated his power in 1946 after 46 years on the Italian throne. The reason Vittorio appeared on the Lek was because at the time of commission Albania was under the control of Italy after a World War II attack in 1939.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.bssa.org.uk/cms/Image/History%201913-1950/Small%20-%20Coins%20-%20Italy%20Kingdom%201%20Lira%201939.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><a href="http://www.bssa.org.uk/about_stainless_steel.php?id=82" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.bssa.org.uk/about_stainless_steel.php?id=82" rel="nofollow">http://www.bssa.org.uk/about_stainless_steel.php?id=82</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
