One of the most obscure emergency issues in European monetary history. When French forces withdrew from Korça in late 1918 and the short-lived Albanian Republic of Korça collapsed, these locally issued francs — spelled "frange" in Albanian — became worthless almost overnight. The Finance Director's office had operated under French military protection since 1916, and the currency existed entirely within that political bubble.
The pick number S152 places it firmly in the specialized section — a regional scrip issue, not a national emission. Surviving examples are rare simply because almost nothing about this microstate's brief administration was designed to last.
