| Obverse description | Central device depicts the Vytis, the traditional Lithuanian coat of arms, showing an armoured knight on a rearing horse charging to the right, sword raised aloft in the right hand. The design is rendered in high relief within a recessed inner circle. The legend LIETUVA arcs along the upper periphery and 1 LITAS along the lower periphery, both in bold Latin characters. The date 2010 appears in the lower field beneath the horse, and the Lithuanian Mint mark (LMK) is positioned to the right of the horse. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a dynamic, stylised depiction of the Battle of Grunwald (Žalgiris), commemorating the 600th anniversary of the 1410 victory. The central field is dominated by a dense array of crossed lances and spears rendered in low relief, evoking the chaos of medieval battle. At the upper portion of the inner circle, mounted knights in combat are visible, while a fallen knight with helmet is depicted at the lower portion, symbolising defeat of the Teutonic Order. The anniversary dates 1410-2010 arc along the upper legend, and the inscription ŽALGIRIO MŪŠIS (Battle of Grunwald) is engraved along the lower periphery in bold Latin characters. |
