Together with Ukraine

On the Obverse, in the centre of the coin and represented as a rising sun, is a sunflower, the petals of which are depicted as stylised silhouettes of people holding hands and embracing; the design is completed by some birds in flight. The image depicted on the coin is intended to be an allegory of values such as hope, courage and freedom. At the top, near the inner edge towards the left, is the arched inscription "LIETUVA", while at the bottom, superimposed on the image of the sunflower, is the circular inscription "KARTU SU UKRAINA" ("ALONGSIDE UKRAINE"). Adjacent to the petals of the sunflower are, on the left, the minting year and, on the right, the mintmark. On the outside part are placed 12 five-pointed stars, representing the European Union. The coin's Reverse is the new common side of Euro coins, with the face value "2" on the left and the European continent on the right, overlapped by the inscription "EURO". Six vertical lines with a star at each end are placed behind the Europe's image.
