The design features a bear
standing on its hind legs, with a chain collar on the neck. It has been
depicted on the coat of arms of Samogitia since the 16th century. The bear is
situated against a shield topped with a crown, which is held by an armoured
soldier (a symbol of courage, sacrifice and patriotism) and a goddess with an
anchor (a symbol of hope). Below is a Latin inscription ‘PATRIA UNA’ (one
fatherland). The design is surrounded by the inscriptions ‘LIETUVA’ (Lithuania)
and ‘ŽEMAITIJA’ (Samogitia), the year of issuance ‘2019’ and the mintmark of
the Lithuanian Mint. The coin’s outer ring bears the 12 stars of the European
flag.
