Albania 20 ecu Galleon Ship Clipper Seafaring X#1 PR68 PCGS silver coin 1993

The Albania 20 Ecu 1993 silver coin is a fascinating commemorative piece that celebrates maritime heritage and the historic role of seafaring. Struck in prooflike quality and graded PR68 DCAM by PCGS, it is among the most collectible issues of modern Albanian numismatics. The obverse features a majestic galleon or clipper ship under full sail, its tall masts and detailed rigging rising above stylized waves. Around the image appear the inscriptions “ALBANIA” and “20 ECU,” with a ring of stars adding symbolic reference to the European monetary unit used before the euro. The reverse presents the national emblem of Albania: the double-headed eagle, framed by wreaths of wheat and olive branches, surmounted by a star — a legacy of the republic’s socialist era. Below the eagle appears the date “1993” and the inscription “REPUBLIKA SHQIPËRISË.” This silver coin represents a link between Albania’s seafaring past and its transitional period in the 1990s. With its large flan, mirrorlike surfaces, and certified near-perfect grade, it is a prestigious collectible combining national symbolism and maritime artistry.
