| Reverse description | The reverse presents an imaginative nocturnal dreamscape inspired by the tradition of lullabies, populated by stylised sheep rendered as drifting clouds and eyes depicted in the form of musical notes, creating a whimsical visual narrative of childhood sleep. The overall composition employs flowing, illustrative forms that evoke the gentle and playful world of a lullaby, with decorative motifs distributed across the field in a balanced artistic arrangement. Excerpts from traditional Lithuanian lullaby verses are inscribed around and within the design, reinforcing the thematic connection to folk musical heritage. |

| Additional information |
Issued as part of Lithuania's ongoing "Cultural Heritage" collector series, this piece commemorates the Lithuanian dainos tradition — folk singing practices inscribed on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list since 2010. The 1½ euro denomination exists purely as a collector vehicle; Lithuania adopted the euro in 2015 but has no obligation to issue fractional multiples, making this a legal tender curiosity that will never see a cash register.
