The 2020 Lithuania 2 euro commemorative coin honours the Aukštaitija region, the largest of the five traditional ethnographic regions of Lithuania. Located in the north-eastern part of the country, the area is historically significant for its unique cultural heritage, distinct dialect, and traditional wooden architecture. The national side of the coin features a coat of arms depicting an armoured knight holding a sword and a shield, symbolising the historical defence of the land. This design is framed by the inscription 'AUKŠTAITIJA' and the country name 'LIETUVA', reflecting the nation's commitment to preserving its regional identities and historical roots within the modern European framework. The coin was issued in 2020 with a mintage of 500,000 pieces.
