| Obverse description | The obverse depicts a male figure in traditional Lithuanian folk costume, arms outstretched and holding bundles of straw or reeds in each hand, rendered in high relief against a plain field. The figure is shown in a frontal stance, evoking the festive character associated with the Užgavėnės celebration. The denomination '1,50€' appears to the left of the figure in the field, while the country name 'LIETUVA' is inscribed in a vertical legend along the left rim and the year '2019' is positioned along the lower right rim. The mint mark 'LMK' and fineness designation 'F' are present in the lettering. The overall design is executed in a folk-art style consistent with Lithuanian numismatic tradition. |
