Obverse description The obverse of this trial piece displays a central numeral '1' flanked symmetrically by the legend 'VIENAS' to the left and 'CENTAS' to the right, all rendered in bold upright Latin lettering. Above the numeral, a stylised decorative spray of wheat or floral sprigs fans outward in a sheaf-like arrangement, characteristic of the Art Deco influenced Lithuanian coinage design of the 1920s. A single downward-pointing decorative element appears below the central numeral, lending the composition a formal symmetry. The entire design is contained within a raised border of fine denticles running along the coin's periphery. The field is smooth and exhibits the warm golden tone typical of aluminium bronze.

Reverse description The reverse of this trial strike is entirely plain and unworked, presenting a completely blank, flat field with no devices, legends, or inscriptions of any kind. The surface displays the natural colour and texture of the aluminium bronze planchet, consistent with its status as a one-sided reverse trial piece. The raised rim is present, and the denticled border visible on the obverse does not appear on this side. The blank reverse confirms this coin was struck solely to test the obverse die design and planchet quality prior to full production approval.
