The 2019 Lithuania 2 euro commemorative coin honours the region of Samogitia, one of the five historical and ethnographic regions of the nation. The national side features a heraldic bear standing on its hind legs, which serves as the traditional symbol of the Samogitian coat of arms. This emblem is encircled by a decorative border and the inscription 'ŽEMAITIJA', the Lithuanian name for the region. Samogitia holds a distinct place in Lithuanian history, known for its unique dialect and its historical role in preserving local traditions against external pressures during the Middle Ages. The design reflects the enduring cultural identity and regional pride that remains central to the Lithuanian state. This 2019 issue was produced with a mintage of 500,000 coins for circulation.
