Lithuania 2022 1.5 euro Zuikis Puikis
Zuikis Puikis
The reverse of the coin
depicts Zuikis Puikis, the main hero of the fairy tale written by the poet
Eduardas Mieželaitis, having fun on his way to school and skittering on a path
which finally leads to the number 2. The impression is enhanced by his friends,
forest animals, which are telling the story of this fairy tale. The right side
features the name of the fairy tale “Zuikis Puikis”, while the composition also
has a gaming element: hidden alphabet letters that need to be found.
The obverse of the coin
features a knitting which represents the main motif of the fairy tale, an
inscription “Lietuva” (Lithuania) and a symbolic silhouette of the Vytis. The
composition is surrounded by small stars and the moon as an allusion to a cosy
evening when fairy tales are told. The right side contains the denomination of
the coin €1.50 and 2022, the year of issue.
