10 Litu

Lithuania's 10 Litas note of 2001 belongs to the second litas series, introduced after the country re-established its currency following independence in 1990. The litas itself had a complicated return — it was reintroduced in 1993, initially pegged to the US dollar, then switched to a currency board arrangement with the euro in 2002, which made this particular issue part of a relatively brief window before that realignment took hold.

Orell Füssli has printed Lithuanian banknotes since the series launched in the early 1990s, giving the entire litas family a consistent production pedigree from one of Europe's older security printers.
