The 2007 issue of this note was part of a broader redesign program Lietuvos Bankas undertook in anticipation of eventual euro adoption — which, in the event, did not come until 2015. The litas had been pegged to the euro at a fixed rate since 2002, so these later high-denomination notes were circulating in a currency that was functionally already a euro proxy, just without the name.
Giesecke & Devrient's Leipzig plant handled the print run, with engraving credited to R. Valantinas — a Lithuanian specialist whose work on the litas series was notably precise by the demanding standards of intaglio currency printing.
