| Reverse description | The reverse features a finely detailed bust of Mikalojus Kristupas Radvila Našlaitėlis (Nicolaus Christopher Radziwill 'the Orphan'), rendered in a Renaissance portrait style, occupying the central lower portion of the square field. The subject is depicted facing slightly left, wearing period-appropriate attire including a ruffled collar, with a beard and moustache rendered in crisp relief. Behind and around the bust, engraved cartographic details from the first map of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania fill the field, with the place name 'VILNA' prominently visible at lower right and the numeral '400' marking the four-hundredth anniversary of the map appearing at center right. The circular legend reads 'PIRMASIS LIETUVOS DIDŽIOSIOS KUNIGAIKŠTYSTĖS ŽEMĖLAPIS' at the top and 'MIKALOJUS KRISTUPAS RADVILA NAŠLAITĖLIS' continuing around the lower arc. |
