Pin made in Albania. Tiny Pin. The figur on the pin is Skanderberg.
Gjergj Kastrioti (1405-1468), commonly known as Skanderbeg, was an Albanian military commander who led a rebellion against the Ottoman Empire in what is today Albania, North Macedonia, Greece, Kosovo, Montenegro, and Serbia.
Skanderbeg ranks high in the military history of that time as the most persistent and ever victorious opponent of the Ottoman Empire during its heyday. He became a central figure in the Albanian National Awakening of the 19th century.
He is honored in modern Albania and is commemorated with many monuments and cultural works. Skanderbeg's military skills presented a major obstacle to Ottoman expansion, and many in Western Europe considered him to be a model of Christian resistance against the Ottomans.
