This is picture of the Coats of Arms of Lithuania used in the first years of independence. Later it was stilized and this version is discontinued (the litas coins from 1991 still bear this image).

Public domain According to the Republic of Lithuania Law on Copyright and Related Rights (passed on May 18, 1999 and ammended on March 5, 2003) Chapter II, Section 1, Article 5, case 3: "Copyright shall not apply to official State symbols and insignia (flags, coat-of-arms, anthems, banknote designs, and other State symbols and insignia) the protection of which is regulated by other legal acts."

Hence it is assumed that this image has been released into the public domain. However, in some instances the use of this image might be regulated by other laws.
