Lithuania's 1922 banknote series was among the first issued after the litas replaced the ostmark and auksinas in a sweeping monetary reform that stabilized the new republic's finances. Giesecke & Devrient had been a natural choice for the contract — the Leipzig firm was handling similar work for several newly sovereign European states in the early 1920s, and Lithuania lacked any domestic printing infrastructure capable of producing secure currency.
The red serial variety of P#16 is catalogued separately from the black serial printing, though both derive from the same plate run. The distinction matters more to specialists than the difference is dramatic, but red-serial examples are the scarcer of the two.
