That's pretty cool looking, but what country is it from?

XPipe - The coin is from Albania. Fairly small actually, about the size of a nickel.

Albania has some really nice looking coins.

Good catch, Bill! The Rome mint must have had some really good designers in those days.

Sweet. Looks a lot like Italian coinage of the era, in style, anyway.

beautiful Albania kingdom coin! not easy find on ebay.

I have tried several times in the past to win one on eBay and I always got outbid. I finally put in a high last second snipe to snag one. I am glad it took until now to get one as this is one of the best examples of this coin I have seen.

Very very nice congrats!

That's an excellent one

Seems those are the hardest of the first Albanian nickels to come by, with the 1 Lek coins the easiest (the king needs to see my 1927 lek, it's nicely PVC-ed

)
