| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed architectural rendering of Medininkai Castle, one of the largest surviving Gothic defensive structures in Lithuania, depicted using a contrast of mirror-polished and matte surfaces to distinguish architectural planes and add depth. The castle's perimeter walls and towers are rendered with careful attention to stonework detail, conveying the monument's historical character. The inscription MEDININKŲ PILIS (Medininkai Castle) is positioned along the upper periphery of the coin as a curved legend in the field above the castle view. |
