The Lithuanian language

Description (ECB)

The design shows the word ‘AČIŪ’ (THANK YOU), one of the most beautiful words in the Lithuanian language. An original Lithuanian font, created specially on the basis of the Latin font for the occasion of the centenary of the restoration of Lithuanian press, in order to match better the combinations of letters used most in the Lithuanian language, is used in the project. All the letters of the Lithuanian language are depicted on the background of the word ‘AČIŪ’, laid out in a tag cloud. At the bottom is the name of the issuing country ‘LIETUVA’ and underneath the name is the year ‘2015’. At the bottom right, under the word ‘AČIŪ’ is the mint mark of the Lithuanian Mint. The coin’s outer ring bears the 12 stars of the European Union.
