| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field features a detailed high-relief depiction of a classic steam locomotive viewed in three-quarter perspective, positioned before a tunnel entrance, with railway tracks receding into the background. The tunnel opening is again represented by the coin's central circular cutout, forming a unifying design element across both faces. The inscription ALBANIA arcs across the upper periphery, flanked by two five-pointed stars on each side. The denomination 7500 LEKE is inscribed in two lines across the lower field, with the date 1988 appearing to the lower left of the locomotive. A beaded border frames the design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Albania's railroad network was built almost entirely through forced labor brigades — the "voluntary youth" construction campaigns that the Hoxha regime mobilized from the 1940s onward, since the country's international isolation meant no foreign contractors and no IMF financing. The 1988 series of which this piece is part was issued during the final years of that isolation, shortly before the regime's collapse.
At 483.75 grams of .900 gold, this is among the heaviest modern Albanian issues — produced in negligible quantities for the hard-currency export market, as Tirana had virtually no domestic collector base capable of absorbing it.
