Obverse: The centre of the coin depicts a stylised bird with widely spread wings symbolising freedom, strength and Lithuania’s energy independence. The lines flowing downward from the bird resemble streams of energy and electric rays, representing a modern energy system and the country’s liberation from energy dependence. On the left is the inscription LIETUVA, while on the right are the year 2026 and the mark of the Lithuanian Mint.
Reverse: The reverse of the coin features the common design used on all 2 euro coins: a geographical map of Western Europe positioned on the right side of the coin and extending across both the inner and outer parts. The inscription 2 EURO is placed above the map, while the number 2 appears against the background of the Atlantic Ocean. In the outer ring there are 12 stars placed on both sides of the map, and vertical lines visually connect the upper and lower stars.
About the coin: This commemorative 2 euro coin is dedicated to Lithuania’s energy independence. It symbolises the country’s efforts to strengthen energy security, integrate into European energy systems and reduce dependence on external energy sources. Energy independence is an important strategic objective for Lithuania and is closely linked to the synchronisation of electricity grids with the continental European system, the development of renewable energy and the country’s long-term security.
