These notes are like the preceding issues, but on the front there is a different Bank of Albania building printed in OVI.
On the 1996 issues, you can see architectural details, but on the 2001 issues (excluding the 200-lek note), it is just the outline of the shape of the building (embossed on the 1,000-lek note).
Furthermore, the hologram on the 5,000-lek note is different.
