About this banknote
The Bank of Lithuania issued this 10 litu banknote in 1927. This series represents the country's efforts to establish its national currency, the litas, following its independence after World War I. Bradbury Wilkinson and Company in the United Kingdom printed the notes, reflecting Lithuania's reliance on established foreign printers for high-quality currency production.
The banknote features a central motif of the Vytis, a knight on horseback, which is a significant national emblem. Green on a pink underprint characterizes its design. Pick number 23 identifies this banknote, which solidified Lithuania's financial identity in the late 1920s.
