The reverse presents a bold, high-relief portrait bust of Jonas Basanavičius, the prominent Lithuanian physician, patriot, and national awakener, depicted in right-facing profile with deeply modelled facial features, flowing hair, and a full beard, rendered in a sculptural matte finish against a highly polished mirror field. To the left of the effigy, a facsimile of Basanavičius's cursive signature is incised into the reflective field, accompanied by a quill pen motif. The dates '1851–1927', denoting his birth and death years, are inscribed vertically in the left field. |

Jonas Basanavičius spent much of his adult life in Bulgaria practicing medicine, editing his landmark ethnographic journal Aušra from abroad, and watching Lithuanian national consciousness slowly coalesce around his work — only returning permanently to Vilnius in 1905, decades after he had become the movement's symbolic father. He chaired the Great Seimas of Vilnius that year, the first major Lithuanian political assembly since the 18th century.
This 2001 issue marked the 150th anniversary of his birth.
