| Beschrijving keerzijde | The central field presents a dramatic upward perspective view of the Gothic spires of St. Anne's Church in Vilnius, rendered in fine detail with elongated pinnacles, tracery, and a cross surmounting the central spire, set against an open sky with a stylised cloud in the upper field. Flanking the church spires on the left and right are partial views of adjacent historic architectural structures. The legend VILNIUS arcs along the upper portion of the outer ring in bold capital letters, completing the commemorative dedication to the Lithuanian capital. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued to mark the 675th anniversary of the first written mention of Vilnius, which appears in a 1323 letter by Grand Duke Gediminas inviting craftsmen and merchants to settle in his capital. That letter — written in Latin and sent to cities across Western Europe — is the earliest documentary evidence of Vilnius as a functioning city, and the coin's existence is a direct consequence of that specific archival fact.
