| Opmerkingen |
The Banka e Shtetit Shqiptar — the Albanian State Bank — was itself only established in 1945, replacing the Italian-era Banca Nazionale d'Albania after the communist consolidation under Enver Hoxha. This 1000 Lekë note belongs to the first substantive postwar series, issued while the country was still operating under a provisional monetary framework inherited from occupation-era currency reforms.
The series was short-lived. A 1947 monetary reform drastically reduced the money supply, and large-denomination notes were among the first casualties of the exchange — redeemed at punishing rates designed to wipe out accumulated wartime wealth.
