Latvia's first post-Soviet currency series, of which this is a part, was introduced following the restoration of independence and the phased withdrawal of Soviet rubles — a process managed through an interim currency, the Latvian ruble, before the lats was fully reinstated. This 10 rubļu belongs to that transitional rubļi period, which lasted only from 1992 into 1993 before the lats returned at a fixed rate of 200 rubļi to 1 lats, rendering the entire series obsolete within roughly a year of issue.
Giesecke & Devrient handled production, as they did for much of the series. The brevity of circulation means genuinely used examples are less common than one might expect for a low denomination.
