Lietuvių: Rokiškio miesto Nepriklausomybės paminklo, skirto Lietuvos Nepriklausomybės 10-mečiui paminėti atidengimo šventė, vykusi 1931 m. spalio 4 d. Paminklo autorius skulptorius Robertas Antinis (1898-1981). Paminklo statybas finansavo Rokiškio gyventojai, o lėšų rinkimas dėl ekonominio sunkmečio užtruko 3 metus. Iš viso paminklas kainavo 30 000 litų. Ant laiptuoto pjedestalo - vertikalus obeliskas su vaidilos, kario ir lietuvaitės, iškeltose rankose laikančios skyde pavaizduotą saulę su svastika. Ant paminklo yra užrašas: „1918-1928“. Septintame dešimtmetyje užrašą ir svastiką autoriui buvo liepta užtinkuoti, tačiau originalus paminklas išliko. 1989 m. skluptoriaus sūnus Robertas Antinis (g. 1946) paminklą restauravo. Reverso viduryje yra įspaudas: „Agfa".
