| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse features a detailed engraved panoramic view of the Piazza della Signoria in Florence, depicting the historic equestrian tournament (Giostra dei Cavalli) with numerous mounted riders and figures in the foreground and the imposing Palazzo Vecchio visible in the background. The scene is rendered in fine intaglio style, capturing the architectural grandeur of the surrounding Florentine buildings. The curved legend at the top reads SHQIPERI - ALBANIA and the date 2001 appears below it in the upper field. Along the lower rim, the inscription NDESHJE ME KUAJ · FIRENCË identifies the depicted scene as the horse tournament in Florence. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Albania's gold commemorative program of the late 1990s and early 2000s was largely aimed at the international collector market rather than domestic circulation — a pragmatic revenue strategy for a country still recovering from the catastrophic collapse of pyramid banking schemes in 1997, which had destabilized the government and triggered armed civil unrest. This coin belongs squarely to that export-driven series.
The choice of Michelangelo's David for an Albanian issue has no particular national or historical connection to Albania; it reflects the era's commercial logic of pairing recognizable European cultural icons with small-nation gold issues to maximize foreign sales.
