Obverse descriptionThe national side of the coin depicts the shield of the coat of arms, with a moose holding a spear in its forelegs and a shining lighthouse above it. Kurenkahns are on both sides of the shield, and below it appears a quote by Vydūnas: “Spindulys esmi begalinės šviesos” (A ray is the essence of infinite light). The composition is surrounded by the inscriptions “Lietuva” (Lithuania), “Mažoji Lietuva” (Lithuania Minor), the year of issue (2025), and the mintmark of the Lithuanian Mint. The coin’s outer ring bears the 12 stars of the EU flag.
