| Reverse description | The reverse is entirely blank, presenting a plain, unadorned field with no design, inscription, or device of any kind. This uniface presentation is consistent with the trial's status as an obverse-only pattern strike, produced to evaluate the obverse die design prior to final approval for circulation coinage. |

| Additional information |
Lithuania's 1925 coinage program was part of the newly independent republic's effort to establish the litas as a stable currency following years of German occupation marks and Soviet ruble chaos. Trial pieces from this series were struck in limited numbers to test die performance and alloy behavior before committing to full production runs. The aluminium bronze composition was itself under evaluation at this stage — final circulating 5 centai pieces were issued in bronze.
KM#TS3 is the obverse trial specifically, meaning the reverse die was likely still in revision when these were struck.
