| Reverse description | The reverse displays a detailed high-relief rendition of the title page of the Catechismus, the first printed book in the Lithuanian language, published in 1547 by Martynas Mažvydas. The book's decorative floral border and the legible title text — beginning 'CATECHISMVSA PRA...' — are faithfully reproduced in fine relief at the center of the highly polished field. The legend LIETUVIŠKAI is inscribed vertically along the left border, and KNYGAI 450 appears vertically along the right, collectively reading 'Lithuanian book — 450,' commemorating the 450th anniversary of the publication. |
