| Additional information |
Part of Lithuania's ongoing folklore series, this issue draws on one of the oldest and most deeply rooted narratives in Baltic mythology — the story of Eglė, a mortal woman who marries the king of serpents and is eventually transformed into a spruce tree. The tale predates Christianity in the region and carries linguistic echoes traced by scholars to Proto-Indo-European sources, making it among the oldest recoverable story cycles in European oral tradition.
The 1½ euro denomination itself is a Lithuanian invention, used exclusively for collector issues in this series since 2017.
