Lithuania declared the restoration of its independence in March 1990, but the transition away from Soviet roubles was neither immediate nor clean. This note was part of the first post-Soviet Lithuanian issue, designed and printed in the United States while the country was still navigating the political and monetary fallout of disentangling itself from Moscow. The talonas — the transitional coupon currency — ran concurrently for a period, making the early Litas issues a patchwork of parallel systems.
United States Banknote Corporation, which printed this series, filed for bankruptcy in 1995, leaving several sovereign contracts mid-stream — though Lithuania's notes had long since been delivered by then.
