| Beschrijving keerzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The first surviving cartographic depiction of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania appeared in the 1613 atlas of Nicolaus Cusanus, though Lithuanian cartographic history is more commonly anchored to the map produced by Mykolas Lietuvis and later refined by figures working within the Duchy's administrative apparatus. This coin commemorates that mapping tradition at a moment when Lithuania was asserting cultural distinctiveness within the European Union, less than a decade after accession.
The square flan is not decorative whimsy — it mirrors the format of early printed map sheets, a deliberate design decision coordinated between the Bank of Lithuania and the mint.
