| Obverse description | The obverse features a central depiction of Morė, the traditional Lithuanian Užgavėnės effigy, rendered as a straw-costumed male figure with outstretched arms, holding a bundle of straw in his left hand and a pair of scissors in his right, symbolising the cutting away of winter. The figure wears a long coat and boots, conveying the folk costume tradition associated with the festival. The denomination '5€' appears in the left field, with the country name 'LIETUVA' inscribed vertically along the lower left and the year '2019' along the lower right. The Lithuanian Mint mark appears to the right of the central figure. The overall artistic style is illustrative and evocative of Lithuanian folk heritage. |
