10 Litų Pattern Strike

The 1936 Lithuanian 10 Litų pattern was produced during a period when Lietuvos Bankas was actively exploring design revisions for its silver coinage, though the specific political or administrative reasons this particular strike never advanced to circulation remain poorly documented. Pattern issues from interwar Lithuania are genuinely scarce — the country's numismatic output was modest, and institutional records from this period were largely destroyed or dispersed during the Soviet occupation beginning in 1940.
