| Additional information |
Lithuania restored its monetary independence in 1990 following the declaration of independence from the Soviet Union, and the litas — along with its subdivisions — was reintroduced in 1991 to replace the Soviet ruble. These early issues were struck before the litas formally re-entered circulation in 1993, meaning most 1991-dated coins sat in reserve for two years. The centas denominations saw limited everyday use once released, as inflation quickly eroded their practical value.
