Information about mint: Lietuvos monetų kalykla (Lithuanian Mint)

Lithuanian Mint (Lithuanian: Lietuvos monetų kalykla) is the state-owned enterprise, responsible for the mintage of coins and decorations of Lithuania.

The Lithuanian Mint was restored on the 10th of December, 1990, upon the decision of the Lithuanian Government.

In 1992 the state enterprise Lithuanian Mint started striking 1, 2 and 5 centas Lithuanian circulation coins. Since 1993 the Lithuanian Mint has produced collector coins. The first 10 litas cooper and nickel alloy coin was issued to mark the 60th anniversary of the flight across the Atlantic by Steponas Darius and Stasys Girenas.

The Lithuanian Mint uses as its mint mark the logo of the company, which has the letters LMK arranged one over the other within a circle (with the K below tilted on its side). The abbreviation stands for Lietuvos monetų kalykla - the mint's name in Lithuanian.

On some of its coins, the Lithuanian Mint does not use a mint mark.
