Lithuania's 1927 currency series was issued under the litas monetary system established just four years earlier, when the litas replaced the unstable ostmark and auksinas that had circulated during and after the German occupation. Bradbury Wilkinson were a logical choice for the commission — the London firm had long supplied banknotes and securities to smaller European states that lacked domestic intaglio printing capacity, and their work for Lithuania in this period is considered among the cleaner output of the series.
The litas held its gold peg with unusual discipline through the late 1920s, which meant notes from this issue actually circulated under relatively stable conditions — a rarity for interwar Eastern Europe.
