Lithuania's first banknote series came out of a country that had only formally established its central bank in 1922, the same year this note was issued. A. Haase in Prague was a logical choice — Czech printing firms were supplying paper currency to several newly independent states scrambling to establish monetary infrastructure after the collapse of the Russian and German empires.
The Litas itself replaced the transitional Ostmark and Auksinas, currencies that had circulated under German occupation and in the immediate postwar period. Getting a credible, professionally printed series into circulation quickly was a political necessity, not just a logistical one.
