Depicts the Emblem of the People's Republic of Albania surrounded by the country name in Albanian, and the dates below.

The Emblem of the People's Republic of Albania featured a black double-headed eagle, a symbol rooted in Byzantine and medieval Albanian heraldry, most famously used by Gjergj Kastrioti Skanderbeg during his 15th-century resistance against the Ottoman Empire. The eagle was surrounded by golden wheat ears, representing agriculture and unity, and topped with a red five-pointed star, the universal symbol of communism. A red ribbon at the bottom bore the date "24 Maj 1944", commemorating the Congress of Përmet, where Albanian communist leaders established a provisional government modeled after Yugoslavia’s anti-fascist council.

Shqipëri is the native Albanian name for Albania, used by Albanians to refer to their country. The term is derived from "shqipe" or "shqiponjë," meaning "eagle", symbolizing the legendary connection between Albanians and the double-headed eagle. The name Shqipëri roughly translates to "Land of the Eagles," reflecting national pride and independence.

The Venetian Tower of Durrës is a well-preserved circular tower that forms part of the Durrës Castle fortifications in Durrës, Albania. Built in the 15th century by the Venetians, it was constructed on top of older Byzantine walls to strengthen the city's coastal defenses. Made of thick stone walls, the tower served as a strategic watchtower and defensive stronghold against Ottoman invasions. Today, it is one of Durrës' most recognizable landmarks and a popular tourist attraction. The tower offers panoramic views of the Adriatic Sea and the city, and it has been repurposed as a café and cultural space, preserving its historical significance.
