About this banknote
The Banka e Shtetit Shqiptar issued the 3 Lekë banknote in 1976, following Albania's official renaming to the People's Socialist Republic. This series was introduced to reflect the country's new designation.

The reverse depicts a view of Saranda, a coastal city in southern Albania, with the national coat of arms positioned at the upper right. The watermark consists of the bank's name encircling a radiant star, repeated across the paper.
