| Obverse description | Bare-headed effigy of Alexander the Great in right-facing profile, rendered in high relief with voluminous, flowing curls characteristic of Hellenistic portraiture. The finely modelled bust dominates the field, with the hair cascading dramatically to the left. The legend SHQIPNI is inscribed vertically along the right rim in Latin characters. The engravers' signatures G. ROMAGNOLI and A. MOTTL INC. appear in small incuse lettering at the lower left of the field. |

A stylised band of waves occupies the lower field beneath the horse. The word PROVA appears in the left field, and the denomination 1·LEK and date 1926 are inscribed in a straight legend along the lower exergue, flanked by the mint mark R to the left. |
