The 2021 Lithuania 2 euro commemorative coin dedicated to the region of Dzūkija celebrates the unique cultural heritage and identity of this southern Lithuanian territory. The national side features a stylised coat of arms for the region, which depicts a soldier in armour holding a halberd and a shield, flanked by two lynxes. This heraldic imagery reflects the historical significance of Dzūkija as a frontier land known for its resilient spirit and distinctive ethnographic traditions, including its ancient dialects and folk customs. By highlighting this region, the coin pays tribute to the diverse tapestry of Lithuanian history and the preservation of regional character within the modern state. This commemorative issue was produced in 2021 with a mintage of 500,000 coins.
