About this banknote
The Banka e Shtetit Shqiptar issued the 5 Lekë banknote in 1976, following Albania's renaming to the People's Socialist Republic. This series replaced the previous 1964 notes to reflect the country's new official name.
The front of the note features a truck and a steam passenger train crossing a viaduct. The reverse depicts a cargo ship at sea, with the national coat of arms at the upper right. The watermark consists of the bank's name encircling a radiant star, repeated across the note.
