50 Litų Great Seimas of Vilnius

The Great Seimas of Vilnius, convened in December 1905, was the largest organized political assembly in Lithuanian history up to that point — some 2,000 delegates gathered to demand national autonomy from the Russian Empire in the immediate aftermath of the failed 1905 Revolution. The resolution passed there called for a democratically elected Lithuanian parliament and the use of Lithuanian as the official administrative language, demands that the tsarist government largely ignored but that shaped the independence movement that succeeded thirteen years later.
