Wow even though my Grandmother was Lithuanian, I do not know the inscription.

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.
