Hannibal got a reaction from Metallurgic in 20 Franc Coins Of The LMU
The Greek one, at the bottom left corner is the rarest one.
It's either "R" if it's the 1884 one, or "RR" if it's the 1876 one.

There is a full list available depends on your criterias. The best is to use numista and the detailed search tool inside . I personally collect only LMU from 1865-1927 period and only circulated coins. This already gives you access to around 40 coins , some of them extremely expansive and rares and some of them close to spot.

Hi...just checked my records. The 1926 Skanderbegu was bought from a small private dealer based in Thessaloniki (via eBay). He still trades under the name Agamemnon 2586.
The 1926 usually carries a higher premium than the 1927, which is odd as it has a higher mintage...5900 as opposed to 5000.
Out of all of my LMU these two are probably the most expensive to buy, but in the case of the 1927 it is graded PCGSMS64, so as a graded example it commands a higher price than a raw coin.
Two other 20 Francs coins come very close, if not higher:-
The 1896 French 20 Fr ‘Angel at Desk’ with the rare ‘Torche’ mint mark is extremely rare, and expensive to buy. I would say for every 30 coins of this date, 29 will have the ‘fasces’, axe mint mark. Unfortunately, I had to pay full price to obtain mine.
The other one to look out for is the French 20 Francs 1888 year date. The 20 Fr coins were minted in there millions, but not this one. I think the mintage was only about 28k. I managed to get mine from a French dealer for a little over £300. Once back from grading (AU58), it is probably worth double!
When the sun rises, I might edit the post to add pictures of the above two coins.

I agree. The 20 franga coin is by far my favourite coin of the series. They are beautiful and worth the premium. I have one more coin to go to hit 30 different coins of the LMU..... what to get that’s the question 🧐

The 20 Franga carry a large premium..but my goodness they are worth it. I have a large, and diverse coin collection, and without a doubt...the finest coins in my collection are my two Skanderbegus
They do come up for auction quite frequently...I bought one from Goldberg’s and one from Greece... Although expensive, I do think they are worth every cent.

The most difficult ones to find, among the relatively modern "20"-denomination LMU run, are the ones from Montenegro (20 Perpera) and Albania (20 Franga).
They carry such huge premiums!
