Part of Lithuania's ongoing series celebrating traditional fishing methods, this issue documents smelt fishing by light attraction — a winter practice once common across the eastern Baltic, where fishermen suspended lanterns through ice holes at night to draw smelt toward the surface. The technique was both subsistence and commerce, feeding coastal communities through months when other fishing was impossible.
Lithuania's copper-nickel collector issues in this denomination are minted at UAB Lietuvos monetų kalykla, the national mint established in Vilnius only in 1990 following independence restoration.
