| Obverse description | The obverse depicts a detailed architectural interior view of the historic Bank of Lithuania building in Kaunas, rendered in high relief. The composition captures the second-floor gallery with its ornate balustrade and the glazed ceiling of the main operating hall, framed by coffered caissons decorated with historical and mythological motifs. To the left of the architectural scene, the Vytis — the heraldic symbol of Lithuania's coat of arms — is prominently displayed alongside the inscription 'LIETUVA' and the denomination '€20' in the field. The Lithuanian Mint logo 'LMK' also appears on the obverse. |

| Additional information |
Lithuania joined the eurozone on 1 January 2015, making it the last of the three Baltic states to do so and completing a monetary integration project that had been politically fraught since independence in 1990. The Bank of Lithuania has used its commemorative silver program aggressively since then — partly as a revenue instrument, partly as a soft-power exercise in asserting national identity within a shared currency framework. Without the specific theme of KM#279 to hand, the substantive history lives in whatever it commemorates rather than in the issuing mechanism itself.
