Don't know if I showed this one or not. Easy to lose track on this thread.

Straits Settlements or 1920 next (again)

 

I don't think I've gotten this one in yet on the thread:



Albania or 1926 to follow.

 

I've never known anyone with so many coins from Albania! You must be an Albanian stork. I think I may have one somewhere.

 

Albania (Zog specifically) has become an obsession, for absolutely no reason in particular. I blame it on a failed One From Every Country attempt---Albania starts with 'A' and was the first of many countries where it became abundantly clear that just one coin wouldn't do. Maybe if I restricted myself to crowns or something, but too late. Someday I need to go visit. It's supposed to be quite lovely!

 

Not from my experience. I sailed by it at night on a ship from Greece to Italy about 40 years ago. There was an amazingly stark division between the lights of Greece and the non-lights of Albania. Then about 20 years ago I was in Macedonia and went up to the border with Albania. It was not a welcoming experience.

 

Albania was late in my "one coin from all countries" goal based on Yeoman's Catalog Of Modern World Coins (1972) that started my collecting madness.

Albania 1930

 

Right??!! I Love late 19th, early 20th century South Africa coins. Why??!! No idea. Just sorta happened that way.

 

That is the way I feel about Sinkiang. I don't have many "friends". Where is the love?

 

Here's another 1930, the half. I found this one in a European auction and took a chance buying it raw with terrible pictures.
