Albanie

Albania

En Albanie l'euro n'est pas la devise, ici la monnaie s’appelle le lek. Elle a connu autant d’évolutions que de changement de régime.

Sous l’Empire ottoman, la monnaie était le « kurus ».
En 1844, elle devient la livre turque
En 1926, le lek devient la monnaie officielle de l’Albanie. Son code ISO est « AL »
La seconde guerre mondiale, verra d’abord le franc albanais sous l’occupation italienne puis une monnaie de guerre est introduite par les Allemands en 1944.
Le régime communiste réintroduit le lek.
Enfin, en 1961, le lek nouveau valant dix fois l’ancien lek fait son apparition.
Mais la plupart des Albanais parlent encore en ancien lek aussi vous suffira-t-il d’enlever un zéro pour avoir le juste prix d’un produit ou d’un service.

Le lek était subdivisé en qindarka mais ces centimes ont maintenant été supprimés.

On trouvait des pièces de 1, 5, 10, 20 et 50 lekë.
Mais en 2000, les pièces de 1 lek ont été supprimées et une nouvelle pièce de 100 lek a été mise en circulation.

Toutes les pièces portent la mention « Republika e Shqipërisë » (République d’Albanie).

Les billets émis ont une valeur de 100, 200, 500, 1000 et 5000 lekë.

Le cours du lek ne fluctue guère et il faut compter qu’un euro vaut environ 140 lekë.

In Albania the euro is not the currency, here the currency is called the lek. It has experienced as many changes as there has been a change of regime.
Under the Ottoman Empire, money was the "kurus".
In 1844 it became the Turkish lira
In 1926, the lek became the official currency of Albania. Its ISO code is "AL"
The Second World War first saw the Albanian franc under Italian occupation and then a war currency was introduced by the Germans in 1944.
The communist regime reintroduced the lek.
Finally, in 1961, the new lek worth ten times the old lek made its appearance.
But most Albanians still speak in the old lek so you will simply have to remove a zero to get the right price for a product or service.
The lek was subdivided into qindarka but these pennies have now been removed.
There were pieces of 1, 5, 10, 20 and 50 lekë.
But in 2000, 1 lek parts were removed and a new 100 lek coin was put into circulation.
All the documents are marked "Republika e Shqipërisë" (Republic of Albania).
Tickets issued have a value of 100, 200, 500, 1000 and 5000 lekë.
The price of the lek does not fluctuate and one euro is worth about 140 lekë.

La couronne ou casque de Skanderbeg est un objet associé à Gjergj Kastriot Skanderbeg

Gjergj  Kastrioti "1405 -1468" est un seigneur albanais, du XVe siècle considéré comme un héros national pour sa résistance à l'Empire ottoman.

Le surnom de Skanderbeg est d'origine turque : les Ottomans l'appellent Iskander Bey, c'est-à-dire « prince Alexandre »,
en référence à ses talents de chef militaire qui leur évoquent Alexandre le Grand. Par translittération, ce surnom est devenu Skënderbeu en albanais, Skanderbeg en allemand et en français.

Gjergj Kastrioti "1405 -1468" is a 15th century Albanian lord considered a national hero for his resistance to the Ottoman Empire.

The Skanderbeg nickname is of Turkish origin: the Ottomans call him Iskander Bey, that is to say "Prince Alexander",
in reference to his talents as a military leader who evoke Alexander the Great. By transliteration, this nickname became Skënderbeu in Albanian, Skanderbeg in German and French.

The coat of arms of Albania is an adaptation of the Flag of Albania. It is based on the seal of Gjergj Kastriot Skanderbeg. It is composed of a double-headed eagle of sand on a field of gules with on the head the representation of the helmet of Skanderbeg.

Château Rozafa de Shkodër was built in the 5th-4th century BC. Previously it was a compulsory crossing point, at the crossroads between the trade routes of the Balkans, hence its importance.
He received his reputation during the First World War, when he was protected by the Turks, General Hassan Riza Pasha as well as Essad Pasha, the Albanian political leader of the opposition.
