Obverse description Central field dominated by a dynamic quadriga scene depicting a charioteer driving four rearing horses to the right, rendered in high relief in a classical Greco-Roman artistic style. The charioteer is shown leaning forward with reins in hand, conveying vigorous motion. The engraver's signature 'G. ROMAGNOLI' appears in the lower right field. Below the chariot scene, the bilingual legend 'SHQIPNI / ALBANIA' is inscribed in two lines, with the date '1926' to the left and the mint mark 'R' (Rome) to the right; the denomination 'Fr. 100' appears prominently in the exergue area.
