About this banknote
The Banka e Shtetit Shqiptar issued the 50 Lekë banknote in 1964 as part of a new series introduced following the 1965 monetary reform, which redenominated the Albanian lek at a rate of 10 old leks to 1 new lek.
The obverse features soldiers on parade at the left center and a bust of Skanderbeg at the upper right. The reverse displays a rifle and pickaxe at the left, a modern apartment building under construction at the left center, and the national arms at the upper right. The watermark consists of the repeated curved letters "BSHSH."
