Catalogue of Albanian Banknotes and Coins was published by the Bank of Albania on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Albanian National Bank (the present Bank of Albania). This catalogue presents the issues of banknotes and coins carried out by the Bank chronologically.
This publication is a modest attempt to set the issuing history of the national Albanian currency into a national development background.
Divided into separate chapters that pertain to different historic periods, the theoretical explanations are made in a plain language emphasizing the informative character. Thus, through this edition, the Albanian and foreign readers have the opportunity to get informed on the Albanian currency, on how and when Albanians have issued their own currency, and on what desire and artistic skill they have cured their domestic currency.
The most prudent reader may through the pages realize the efforts of the Albanian State in different periods to develop, strengthen or make its economy independent.
Being the first of its kind, the catalogue is filled up with illustrations of found banknotes and coins, making its introduction to the public even more distinguished.
- Extended information on issues of banknotes and coins during periods.
- Short information on coins which circulated in Albania in ancient times.
- The structure of denominations circulating in a given period, illustrated graphically.
- Rare photos of banknotes and coins, and photos of denominations "Lek-Securities", which you have
never had the opportunity to see before.
