Lietuva = Lithuania Vytautas = Vytas the great a Lithuania hero of 15th Century 10 Litu = the denomination of course

The Knight is known as VYTAS after a Lithuanian 15th Century hero.
Note the "Double Cross" on the Knight's shield, it is a National Symbol in Lithuanian. A different take on the Christian Cross.

Just for fun, I looked that up: "The strength of the nation lies in unity"--the national motto.
