Product Information
Specification
ITALY: WW2 Commemorative Military Medal for 
the Italian Expedition (Campaign) in Albania 
(7 - 16 Apr. 1939).
Rare, initial, unmarked, type "A" version of the
 medal (3 other, posterior types exist as well).
The Medal was instituted in 1940 to be awarded 
to military and civilian participants in the Italian 
occupation of Albania. 
The number "XVII" (17) refers to the 17th year 
of fascist rule in Italy (since 1922). 
The Italian campaign in Albania lasted just 9 
days, as the Italian forces faced practically no 
resistance and suffered negligible casualties. 
Following the Italian victory, the Albanian King 
Zog I forced into exile, on 15 Apr. 1939 Albania 
withdrew from the League of Nations and the 
country became part of the Italian Empire, as 
a separate kingdom in personal union with the 
Italian Crown.
