Lithuania's 1928 100 Litu was among the first major-denomination notes issued under the litas monetary system, established in 1922 to replace the highly inflated ostmark and transitional talonas. Bradbury Wilkinson, a firm with deep experience printing currency for newly independent states across interwar Europe, produced the note in London to a standard the young Lietuvos Bankas could not yet achieve domestically.
The litas held remarkable stability throughout the late 1920s, pegged to gold, which gave notes of this denomination genuine purchasing power. That stability would not survive the decade that followed.
