| Obverse description | The obverse features the Vytis, the historic mounted knight emblem of Lithuania, depicted in right-facing profile as an armored knight on a rearing horse, brandishing a sword aloft in his right hand and bearing a shield charged with a double cross on his left arm. The design occupies the central field, engraved in high relief with fine heraldic detail. The inscription 'LIETUVA' appears in the lower exergue in bold Latin lettering, while the year of issue is positioned to the right of the knight. Twelve five-pointed stars, symbolic of the European Union, encircle the design along the outer border. |

| Additional information |
Lithuania joined the Eurozone on January 1, 2015, making it the last of the three Baltic states to adopt the euro — Estonia had converted in 2011, Latvia in 2014. The timing closed a chapter that began with Soviet occupation in 1940 and ran through decades of the ruble, the transitional talonas, and finally the litas, which had been pegged to the euro at a fixed rate of 3.4528 since 2002.
The Lithuanian Mint in Vilnius struck the entire national euro coin range domestically from the outset.
