A continuous decorative border of alternating small geometric motifs — comprising arrow-like and crescent-shaped elements — encircles the entire design just within the raised rim, framing the composition. |

| Additional information |
Lithuania restored its monetary independence in 1990 following the declaration of independence from the Soviet Union, and the litas — along with its subdivisions — was reintroduced in 1991 to replace the Soviet ruble. These early issues were struck before the litas formally re-entered circulation in 1993, meaning most 1991-dated coins sat in reserve for two years. The centas denominations saw limited everyday use once released, as inflation quickly eroded their practical value.
