Obverse descriptionBoth sides of the coin feature smelt fishing by attracting: wooden mallets rhythmically strike the end of a board placed in the man-made opening in the ice and create vibrations that attract the fish; these vibrations make the fish turn in circles and this way they are caught in the nets. The obverse of the coin depicts the view from above the ice, reverse – the view from below it. The obverse of the coins features Vytis, the coat of arms of Lithuania, formed as if from frost. The coins also feature the inscriptions LIETUVA (LITHUANIA), the year of issue (2019) and denomination €1.50
