FEATURED WEB PAGE: LITHUANIAN COINS OF THE 1920S

This week's Featured Web Page is Lithuanian coins of the 1920s, from the World of Coins site.

In the 20th century, the further back you go, the more common it is to find sprigs of oak leaves, ears of wheat, flowers and other vegetation used as ornamentation on a coin, so much so that it becomes almost a cliché. This Lithuanian circulation set, however, takes the usual suspects and depicts them with such artistic verve that it becomes a very stylish set.
