Lithuania, 1919 Coat of Arms (Vytis)

Lithuania · 1919 · 10 Skatikų

This stamp features the Vytis (The Chaser), Lithuania's national coat of arms, which depicts a knight on horseback wielding a sword and shield. The design is rendered in a simple, bold style typical of the first issues of the newly independent nation. The denomination is shown as '10 SKATIKŲ' at the bottom.

Issued in 1919, this stamp is part of Lithuania's first definitive series following its declaration of independence in 1918. These early issues were crucial for establishing national sovereignty and a functioning postal system after years of foreign rule.
