The Euro coins from Lithuania

Lithuania joined the euro area on 1 January 2015. Lithuanian euro coins share a similar national side for all eight coins. The difference between the coins are that one and two euro coins have vertical lines on the outer circle, the fifty, twenty and ten cent coins have horizontal lines on the outer circle, and the five, two and one cent coins, have no lines on the outer circle. The design featuring the Vytis symbol and the word Lithuania was announced 11 November 2004, and was created by the sculptor Antanas Žukauskas.

Lietuvos banko valdyba 2005 m. vasario 24 d. nutarimu Nr. 28 patvirtino skulptoriaus Antano Žukausko sukurtus apyvartinių eurų monetų nacionalinės pusės tris gipsinius modelius. Vyčio simbolį sups 12 žvaigždžių.
