Zog I silver Prova 5 Franga Ari 1926-R UNC Details (Obverse Scratched) NGC, Rome mint, KM-Pr10, Pag-804 (R3). Star below bust variety. Among Zog I's most coveted issues and among this catalogers favorite the handle, distinguished by a proud bust and most visually captivating plowing scene to the reverse struck with impressive depth. Despite the noted obverse scratch across the sitter's cheek, the piece retains the majority of its Mint State appeal and will likely serve those seeking a more affordable example of this always contested type. Ex. Carl F. Chirico Jr. Collection (Bowers and Merena Auctions, November 2008, Lot 5836) From the Meduno Collection of Italian Provas
