Lithuania's 1922 note series was among the first issued after the litas replaced the provisional ostmark-based currency system — the Lietuvos Bankas had only been formally established in 1922, and these early Haase-printed notes were produced under considerable urgency. A. Haase of Prague was a well-regarded Central European security printer of the period, handling commissions for several newly independent states emerging from the post-WWI reorganization of the region.
The "green serial" designation distinguishes this from otherwise identical printings carrying serials in different ink colors — a variation that matters more to specialists than the catalog number alone suggests.
