Actually @Kookaburracollector I had been thinking of some relatable and robust fired earth to fit your angels ...

Hi. Fortunately for me, the one above at ma-shops is the standard one, which I already have. The coin @augur is referring to is the same year, 1926, but has an additional engravers mark (fasces). There are only believed to be 10 in existence so do not come cheep. One sold many years ago for ‘a lot’ of money!..see below

 

I am hoping my good friend @augurbought this, and will be wrapping it up, and sending it to Yorkshire around Christmas time😃!

@Kookaburracollector, ah, yes, thank you very much for highlighting the distinction of the fasces to the left of the Mint mark...now, we must ensure that @augur doesn’t come back with something to this effect...

There obviously is also the ‘PROVA’ (trial strike) with a mintage of 50 😜

Why does that remind me of Albion Market? 😝😝

I want to get a nice 20 franc but I’m stuck at what to get.  There is a 20 perpera in xf or a 20 zlotych in unc.  I’m swaying on the side of the zlotych....out of curiosity how much do you think I should b paying for them?

Might be worth showing us the goods first....

Good point 😃..... I’ve got about 550-600 for a coin.  I want the franga but that’s out of my price range for now.  Or would you buy something else?

I’d save another 100 and then wait for a nice 1927 20 Franga and pounce at it at a good price 

[Kookaburracollector]

@Lea79 hi...Always each to their own, but personally..given the choice and budget... I would save a bit longer and buy a 20 Franga Skanderbegu..probably a 1927 as they sell for less...They are truly great coins!

I wouldn’t normally divulge prices paid, but as this is the best thread (by far) on TSF I will  make an exception.

I paid £670 for the MS64 1927 Skanderbegu, be it lucky, or just the genius skills of my faithful bidder @augur, I don’t know...but that was only a few months ago...patience and fortune will hopefully find you one for about this price!

If you can’t wait...then I would go for the 20 Zlotych ..or maybe post a Wanted advert and see what surfaces...you ever know !

I can go an extra 100 quid but can’t find a nice other than the one on eBay that’s in America.  Worried about import tax on top.

[Lea79]

The 20 franga is a beautiful coin 😍 the skanderbeau is the nicest out of the two.

[Kookaburracollector]

I will,keep an eye out for one for you..but may take a while...slowly catchy monkey 🐒

That would be awesome.  Thank you 😃

Both the skenderbeg coin and the perper are really nice !

2 of my favourite coins in the "obscure" European coin category !

The one below was sold in May 2019..pity it’s the Paris mint..others are more sought after...A very nice pick up though😃

They do carry quite a premium. If it is in mint state then the price is good.
