The central motif is framed by an open wreath of stylised oak and floral branches rising from a decorative floral base at the bottom and extending symmetrically on either side, their tips pointing upward without joining at the top. The design is enclosed within a beaded border. |

Lithuania's 1925 coinage program was part of the newly independent republic's effort to establish the litas as a stable currency following the monetary chaos of the German Ostmark occupation and subsequent postwar inflation. The litas, introduced in 1922, was deliberately pegged to the U.S. dollar at a fixed rate and proved one of the more resilient interwar currencies in the region.
The .500 fineness was a deliberate economic compromise — full silver coinage was beyond the young state's fiscal reach, but debased silver still carried enough intrinsic credibility to circulate alongside the paper notes.
