Albania's state bank issued this note in 1991, the year the communist government collapsed and the country lurched toward a chaotic transition — mass emigration, factory looting, and the slow disintegration of state institutions all unfolded while this paper was technically legal tender. The 1991 series was among the last produced under the old order before the banking system was restructured entirely.
Pick 47 continued design conventions established years earlier rather than signaling any break with the past — an odd choice given the political moment, though urgency rarely allows for new plate commissions.
