| Reverse description | A displayed double-headed eagle with wings spread occupies the centre of the field, representing the traditional heraldic symbol of Albania. Flanking the eagle on either side are vertical fasces with axes, emblems of Italian Fascist authority. The denomination '5 LEK' appears in the lower centre of the field, with the date '1939' to the lower left and the Roman numeral 'XVII' (denoting the seventeenth year of the Fascist era) to the lower right. The legend 'SHQIPNI' arcs across the top and 'ALBANIA' along the bottom, with the engraver's signature 'G. ROMAGNOLI' and the mint mark 'R' inscribed near the lower left. |
