Reverse description The reverse presents a dramatic, high-relief scene inspired by the Lithuanian fairy tale 'The Twelve Brothers, Twelve Black Ravens.' A sweeping mass of long, wind-blown hair fills the upper field, rendered in polished silver with fine engraved detail, evoking the ethereal presence of the enchanted sister. Twelve black ravens, depicted with outstretched wings in various stages of flight, soar dynamically across the composition against the flowing hair and open field. In the lower foreground, a winged human figure — one of the transformed brothers — is shown mid-transformation with broad wings spread wide. In the lower left, a partially colored decorative folk motif in purple, referencing traditional Lithuanian ornamental design, anchors the composition. The arc of the legend DVYLIKA BROLIŲ, JUODVARNIAIS LAKSTANČIŲ curves along the upper border of the coin.
