| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 25th anniversary of Albania's liberation from Nazi German occupation in November 1944, this coin belongs to a commemorative series released under Enver Hoxha's isolationist regime at a moment when Albania had already broken with the Soviet Union and was deepening its alignment with Maoist China. The aluminium composition was a deliberate practical choice for low-denomination coinage during a period of severe economic austerity.
By 1969, Albania was the most ideologically rigid state in Europe, having withdrawn from the Warsaw Pact the previous year.
