Obverse: the front of the banknote features the 3 talonas denomination, a decorative floral ornament, the Coat of Arms of the Republic of Lithuania (Vytis), the year 1991, and the inscription "Lietuvos Respublika". This example belongs to the "Without Counterfeit Text" variety, meaning it does not include the anti-counterfeiting warning text within the security background.
Reverse: the reverse depicts two birds, a grey heron and a great bittern, symbolising Lithuania's rich wildlife. The design is completed by security patterns, the serial number, and the denomination.
About the banknote: the 1991 3 Talonas banknote belongs to the first series of Lithuania's temporary currency issued after the restoration of independence. This example has been certified by PMG (Paper Money Guaranty) and graded Choice Uncirculated 63 EPQ (Exceptional Paper Quality), confirming an attractive uncirculated note with outstanding original paper quality. The holder identifies it as Pick# 33a – Without Counterfeit Text, distinguishing it from the alternative variety that bears the anti-counterfeiting warning text. PMG certification guarantees the banknote's authenticity, preservation, and originality, making it an excellent collectible from the early years of modern independent Lithuania.
