The numeral "1" appears in ornamental cartouches to the left and right of the central vignette. The denomination "VIENAS CENTAS" is lettered in a plain band at the foot, with the bank title legend across the top. |

| Opmerkingen |
Lithuania's first banknote series, issued just months after the litas replaced the German-occupation ostmark in 1922. The Bank of Lithuania had no established printing infrastructure at that point, and these earliest low-denomination notes were produced domestically in Kaunas under genuinely provisional conditions — hence the designation. The printing quality reflects that urgency.
Pick #1 is the lowest denomination of the inaugural litas series, making it the first standardized paper currency issued by an independent Lithuanian state. The series as a whole was quickly superseded by better-produced issues, which pushed these provisional notes out of circulation relatively fast.
