Notes

Alternative names: złotówka litewska, auksinas, 30 groschen Trial coin. Lack of mintmarks makes mint identification difficult. Gumovski suggested that coin was minted in Bydgoszcz due to its similarity to Polish tymf. Mint: Wilno - Vilnius - Вільня - Вильнюс - Вильна - Viļņa - Wilna - Vilna - 维尔纽斯
