The standard Lithuanian 2 euro coin features the Vytis, the historic coat of arms of the nation, which serves as a powerful symbol of the country's sovereignty and long-standing heritage. Depicted as a mounted knight in armour holding a sword and a shield emblazoned with a double cross, the Vytis has represented the Lithuanian state since the fourteenth century. The design is encircled by the twelve stars of the European Union, reflecting Lithuania's integration into the continent's political and economic framework. Surrounding the central figure are the name of the country, 'LIETUVA', and the year of issue, which are struck into the metal alongside the mint mark. This standard issue was minted in 2022.
