Reverse description The Vytis, the historic Lithuanian state emblem, depicted as an armoured knight on a rearing horse, set within a heraldic shield supported by decorative oak branches on either side. A royal crown surmounts the shield from above, and a small castle mintmark appears below the shield in the lower field. The curved legend 'VYTIS PER AMŽIUS' ('Vytis Forever') arcs along the lower rim. The design is executed in high-relief frosted cameo against a mirror-polished proof field.

Additional information

Niue has served as a vehicle for third-party bullion and collector programs for decades, its status as a New Zealand realm territory lending legal-tender standing to coins that have no meaningful circulation relationship with the island's roughly 1,500 residents. This particular issue belongs to a long-running Lithuanian Vytis series produced for the collector market, effectively functioning as a silver bullion round dressed in statutory coinage clothing.

Lithuania's Vytis has carried charged political weight since the Soviet period, when its display was suppressed.
