| Additional information |
Albania's 1964 coinage series was produced under Enver Hoxha's government during a period of dramatic political realignment — the year Tirana formally broke with Moscow following years of tension rooted in Khrushchev's de-Stalinization policies. China stepped in as the primary patron, and Albanian state enterprises, including the mint, operated under conditions of near-total isolation from the Western bloc. The aluminium composition reflects chronic material constraints rather than any technical preference.
