Description

ALBANIA. Gold 20 Franga Ari Prova (Pattern), 1927-V. Vienna Mint. Zog I. NGC Ms 66
Fr-6; KM-Pr27. Mintage: 50. An exceptionally rare prova issue, this piece is sharply struck and presents satiny surfaces and entrancing luster. Details far exceed those visible on normal business strikes, with every detail of Zog’s portrait visible. Albanian issues remain popular, and provas are among the most desirable of all Albanian pieces, making the present specimen likely to command much spirited bidding.
