| Obverse description | The obverse features a richly textured central field rendered in fine relief to simulate the surface of hand-knitted fabric, evoking the woolly coat of the titular character Zuikis Puikis (Dandy Bunny). To the left of the knitted panel, a stylised crescent moon accompanied by scattered stars appears in low relief against a smooth field, establishing a nocturnal, fairy-tale atmosphere. The denomination 1,50€ and the date 2022 are incused in a clean sans-serif typeface at the lower right, beneath the Lithuanian Mint mark (LMK). The country name LIETUVA is inscribed along the upper field. The overall composition blends fine textile-effect engraving with minimalist typographic elements in a contemporary numismatic style. |

| Additional information |
Zuikis Puikis is a beloved Lithuanian children's book character — a clever, mischievous rabbit created by author Kazys Boruta, first published in 1936. The 1½ euro denomination is a longstanding Lithuanian quirk, used specifically for collector-oriented issues tied to cultural and folkloric themes, placing this piece outside any conventional eurozone series entirely.
