Lithuania 1920 Coat of Arms

Lithuania · 1920 · 10 Skatikų

This definitive stamp features the Coat of Arms of Lithuania, known as the Vytis (the White Knight), a charging knight on horseback. The design is simple, with the denomination '10' at the top corners and the currency 'SKATIKŲ' below the central image. The country name 'LIETUVA' is inscribed at the bottom.

Issued in 1920, this stamp is from the early period of Lithuania's first independence (1918-1940), following the end of World War I. These early issues were crucial for establishing national identity and a functioning postal system for the newly sovereign state.
