| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in shades of violet and purple on a light ground, with a central vignette of a stone arch bridge crossed by a steam locomotive, while a truck passes beneath on the road below. To the right of the vignette, a large guilloche rosette bears the numeral 5 in dark blue intaglio. The denomination PESË LEKË is inscribed in bold letterpress along the lower centre, flanked by corner numerals 5, with the issuer's name BANKA E SHTETIT SHQIPTAR across the top and the legal tender clause I PAGUHEN PRURËSIT ME TË PARË at the foot. |
