| Additional information |
Papua New Guinea issued this piece as part of a broader series honoring world currencies and foreign nations — a format the Royal Australian Mint has produced on contract for Pacific island states seeking collector revenue. Albania adopted the lek as its currency in 1926, replacing the earlier Ottoman-era monetary system; the "dollar" denomination here is PNG's own, making this an essentially fictional pairing of two unrelated monetary traditions pressed into a single commemorative object.
