| Commenti |
Lithuania's first banknotes were issued under considerable pressure — the new central bank opened in 1922 with almost no time to commission a full note series, and the provisional fractional issues that resulted were essentially stopgaps while permanent designs were being prepared. The 50 Centų note (Pick 4) belongs to that hurried first emission, printed on plain paper with none of the security sophistication that would characterize later Lithuanian issues.
The Litas itself had replaced the Ostmark and the short-lived Auksinas in rapid succession. Getting paper into circulation fast mattered more than getting it right.
