Description

People's Socialist Republic gold Proof "Railroad Anniversary" 7500 Leke (14 oz) 1988 UNC, KM64, Fr-25. Variety w/ hole in coin. Mintage: 50. A massive Albanian gold issue that is impressive in its stature but also in its rarity. Hailing from a miniscule mintage of 50 and practically never brought to public auction; the last major appearance of the issue was this exact example that our firm sold back in 2014. Featuring an incredible modern design with an actual "hole" in the coin depicting a tunnel for which the railroad train is traveling through (Friedberg lists this type both with and w/o a hole in the design). Expertly preserved in its original plastic capsule and wooden case of issue (also COA #28), this Albanian modern rarity is sure to entice collectors who have been waiting over a decade since this emission's last auction appearance. Ex. Heritage Auctions #3032 (April 2014, lot 24078) HID09801242017 © 2024 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
