The Lithuanian 2 euro standard circulation coin features the Vytis, the national coat of arms of the Republic of Lithuania. This historic emblem depicts a mounted knight in armour, known as the Vytis, or 'the chaser', brandishing a sword above his head while holding a shield adorned with a double cross. The design serves as a powerful symbol of the nation’s sovereignty and its long-standing history, tracing its origins back to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. By incorporating this ancient heraldic figure, the coin reflects the resilience and identity of the Lithuanian people within the modern European framework. The national side also includes the name of the issuing country, 'LIETUVA', and the year of production. This standard issue coin was minted in 2017 with a total mintage of 12,000,000 pieces.
