Lithuania restored the litas in June 1993, replacing the interim talonas — a coupon currency introduced in 1991 to manage the transition away from Soviet rubles. The 5 Litai note entered circulation as part of that first proper post-independence issue, printed by De La Rue in London while Lithuanian banking infrastructure was still being rebuilt from scratch. At just over twelve million printed, the run was modest relative to the denomination's likely demand in a newly monetized economy.
G. Jonaitis's engraver credit is one of the few instances of a named Lithuanian hand in the De La Rue production chain for this series.
