| Obverse description | The obverse displays the medieval great seal of Grand Duke Vytautas, rendered in fine relief detail at the centre of the field, depicting the armoured mounted knight in the style characteristic of 15th-century Lithuanian heraldic imagery. Encircling the central motif, the legend LIETUVA and the denomination 500 LITŲ are inscribed along the periphery, with the year of issue 2010 and the Lithuanian Mint mark LMK also present. The overall design reflects a formal heraldic composition consistent with the commemorative nature of the issue. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a richly detailed scene inspired by the Battle of Grunwald (Žalgiris) of 1410, depicting horsemen and infantrymen rendered with historically accurate representations of 15th-century armour, weaponry, and military attire. The figures are arranged dynamically across the field in a composition evoking the chaos and grandeur of the battle. The inscription ŽALGIRIO MŪŠIS arcs in a semicircle, accompanied by the commemorative dates 1410–2010 marking the 600th anniversary of the engagement. The overall design demonstrates a high level of engraving artistry appropriate to a fine gold proof issue. |
