| Obverse description | The obverse features a stylised representation of the Vytis, the armoured mounted knight associated with the era of King Mindaugas, rendered in an archaic heraldic style that prefigures the later Lithuanian state coat of arms. The equestrian figure occupies the central field of the gold inner disc. The legend LIETUVA arcs along the upper periphery of the silver outer ring, while the denomination 200 LITŲ is inscribed along the lower arc. The date in Roman numerals, MMIII, appears below the central device, accompanied by the mint mark LMK. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts King Mindaugas enthroned in a frontal, hieratic composition, holding a sceptre in his right hand and an orb in his left, emblematic of royal sovereignty. The figure is rendered in a stylised medieval idiom befitting the commemorative subject. A circular legend surrounding the central device reads MINDAUGO KARŪNAVIMAS, accompanied by the historical date 1253, commemorating the coronation of Mindaugas as the first and only King of Lithuania. The design fills the gold inner disc, with the lettering distributed across the silver outer ring. |
