The obverse of the banknote displays a portrait of Naim Frashëri (1846–1900), a prominent figure of the Albanian Renaissance, accompanied by an open book in the background. The reverse features an image of Frashëri's birthplace, a page with verses from his poem "Ti Shqipëri më jep nder, më jep emrin Shqipëtar," and a stylized depiction of his pen. The note measures 138 x 69 mm and was printed by François-Charles Oberthür in 2001.
