50 Litų XXX Olympic Games in London

Lithuania issued this coin ahead of the 2012 London Olympics while still years away from adopting the euro, making it one of the last Olympic commemoratives struck under the litas — a currency that would be discontinued entirely in January 2015. The Lithuanian Mint had a limited domestic collector base, so most of these pieces were sold directly to foreign dealers and thematic Olympic collectors rather than through Lithuanian retail channels.

KM#220 was struck to the same planchet specification shared across dozens of Commonwealth and European commemorative programs of the period, sourced largely through the same small network of blank suppliers.
