| Obverse description | The obverse presents a stylised Vytis, the heraldic coat of arms of the Republic of Lithuania, rendered as if composed of a swarm of bees in flight. The central field is dominated by a honeycomb filled with honey, applied in vivid colour using pad-printing technology, creating a striking polychrome focal point. The national name LIETUVA is inscribed in the upper portion of the legend, with the denomination €10 and the year of issue 2020 distributed across the lower field. The mintmark LMK of the Lithuanian Mint appears in the lower field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a scene from the ancient Lithuanian tradition of tree beekeeping (drevinė bitininkystė), showing a beekeeper who has climbed the hollow of a large tree to harvest wild honey, his head protected by a traditional beekeeping veil. A swarm of bees surrounds the beekeeper in the field, rendered in fine relief to convey movement and depth. The composition evokes the intangible cultural heritage of this traditional practice in an illustrative, narrative style. The legend DREVINĖ BITININKYSTĖ is inscribed along the lower portion of the coin. |
