The talonas was Lithuania's transitional currency, introduced in 1991 alongside the Soviet ruble before fully replacing it. These coupons were never intended as a permanent solution — the litas redenomination in June 1993 rendered them obsolete within months of this issue, and most were exchanged and destroyed through the conversion process.
The print date of 30 April 1945 warrants scrutiny: it almost certainly refers to a plate or design element inherited or reprinted from an earlier source, not actual production in the final days of World War II in a Soviet-occupied Lithuania.
