2 Litai Pattern Strike

The Pattern 2 Litai (Pattern Strike) 1938 from Lithuania made of Silver is a rare and unique coin that was minted during a brief period in Lithuanian history. In 1938, Lithuania was facing economic difficulties and decided to introduce a new currency, the litas, to replace the Lithuanian aukštė (lt). To create the new currency, the government minted a small number of pattern coins, including the 2 litai coin made of silver. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that was never used on any other Lithuanian coin. The obverse of the coin depicts a stylized image of a Lithuanian peasant, while the reverse features a coat of arms and the inscription "Lietuva" (Lithuania) in bold letters. The coin's design was created by the Lithuanian artist and sculptor, Juozas Zikaras, who was also responsible for designing many other Lithuanian coins and banknotes. The Pattern 2 Litai (Pattern Strike) 1938 from Lithuania made of Silver is a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists and is considered a rare and valuable addition to any coin collection.
