The post-communist Albanian lek series of the early 1990s was issued against a backdrop of severe economic instability — the country had only formally abandoned its isolationist command economy in 1991, and the banking system was barely functional. This 100 Lekë note belongs to a transitional series produced while the Banka e Shqipërisë was rebuilding institutional credibility from near zero.
The "Printed: 30.04.1945" field in the source data is almost certainly a cataloging anomaly rather than a genuine print date — 1945 predates the issuer as it currently exists by decades. Worth flagging before attribution is finalized.
