Thank you for showing photo of that silver coin - it can be more expensive (if it contains an error) :)
Now on iNaturalist we have 3 different species and one hybrid:
Silene litHuanica. It does not exist on the list of synonyms on https://lt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lietuvinė_naktižiedė
Atocion armeria var. lituanicum.
Atocion lituanicum (previously Silene lituanica, without letter h).
Atocion lituanicum × atocion armeria. This is ok - this is a hybrid.
Names 2. and 3. should be treated as synonyms also.
Silene lituanica, withuot letter h, is listed on the latest edition of document with protected species: https://e-seimas.lrs.lt/portal/legalAct/lt/TAD/5bffb9f0b50511e8aa33fe8f0fea665f
Quite complicated situation...
This seems a mess. We do nothing wrong here when we merge Silene lithuanica with Atocion lituanicum.
Now this flag can be marked as solved. Thank you very much!
There are sources that consider Silene lit(h)uanica as a separate species that occurs in Lithuania and Ukraine.

Both spellings are also in circulation.
