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.
