| Reverse description | A highly stylized frontal portrait of a tiger rendered entirely in a pointillist technique using hundreds of raised circular bosses of varying diameters, creating a three-dimensional dot-matrix image that fills the entire coin field. The tiger's facial features — eyes, nose, muzzle, and stripes — are defined solely through the contrasting sizes and depths of the spherical elements, producing a striking optical illusion reminiscent of pixel art. No inscriptions or legends appear on the reverse, allowing the artistic composition to occupy the full round flan. The design commemorates the Water Tiger, the animal of the Chinese zodiac year 2022. The overall effect is bold and sculptural, showcasing the Lithuanian Mint's advanced minting technique. |
