Lithuania 1919 10 Skatikų, First Vilnius Issue

Lithuania · 1919 · 10 Skatikų

This stamp features the Vytis, the coat of arms of Lithuania, which depicts a knight on horseback. The design is simple, with the denomination '10' at the top corners and 'SKATIKŲ' below the central image. This was part of the first set of stamps issued in Vilnius after Lithuania declared its independence.

Issued in early 1919, this stamp represents Lithuania's nascent statehood and struggle for sovereignty following World War I and the collapse of the Russian Empire.
