| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bas-relief scene within a square recessed panel commemorating the 600th anniversary of the Christianization of Samogitia, depicting a bishop or missionary figure holding a cross and officiating over a baptism, with a kneeling figure receiving the sacrament. A dove, symbolizing the Holy Spirit, appears in the upper portion of the relief above the central figures. The inscriptions ŽEMAITIJOS KRIKŠTAS are divided across the left and right margins flanking the relief panel, and the numeral 600 appears prominently in the lower field, denoting the anniversary year. The artistic style echoes medieval ecclesiastical relief sculpture, consistent with the coin's commemorative theme. |
