| Anmerkungen |
The Korçë municipal notes of 1921 are among the most localized emergency issues in European numismatic history — printed not by a central authority but by a town press, Dhori Koti's lithographic shop, operating under a committee of local inhabitants who had no formal banking mandate whatsoever. The denomination itself, the Skënder, was named for Gjergj Kastrioti Skënderbeu, the 15th-century Albanian national hero, and was essentially invented for the occasion.
Albania had no functioning central bank until 1925. These notes filled a genuine transactional vacuum in a region that had passed through Ottoman, Greek, French, and Italian administrative hands within living memory.
