About this banknote
The Banka e Shtetit Shqiptar issued the 50 Lek Valutë banknote in 1992 to address a cash shortage in circulation. This note was part of a temporary series where each Lek Valutë was valued at 50 regular lekë. The series was short-lived, circulating for only one year before being replaced by a new series in 1992.
The obverse of the banknote features a steelworker at the center. The reverse displays electrical transmission towers on the left, the national arms at the upper center, and a hydroelectric generator on the right. The note measures 165 x 75 mm and lacks a security thread. Its watermark consists of the repeated letters "B.SH.SH." below a star pattern.
