1 Litas Provisional

Lithuania's monetary independence moved fast in 1922. The litas was introduced in October of that year to replace the temporary ostmark and auksinas issues that had circulated since the German occupation and postwar transition period. These provisional notes bridged the gap between the old currency regime and the fully designed permanent series — functionally necessary, typographically spartan by design.

Pick 5 is among the earliest issues of Lietuvos Bankas and was not intended for long-term circulation. Survivorship is reasonable but unspectacular.
