A substantial lot of 30 Albanian 10 Lekë banknotes, dated 1976, issued by the Banka e Shtetit Shqiptar during Albania’s socialist era. All 30 notes are uncirculated, presenting an excellent opportunity for collectors looking for a larger group of well-preserved examples from this period. The notes feature detailed engraved designs reflecting Albania’s emphasis on industrial and agricultural labour. The obverse depicts a female textile worker operating industrial machinery, while the reverse portrays workers in an industrial setting, accompanied by a portrait medallion. The elaborate guilloche work and combination of green, cream and reddish-brown printing give these notes a particularly attractive appearance. The notes are individually preserved in protective plastic sleeves and include the original collector inventory labeling.
