About the coin: The heroic flight of Steponas Darius and Stasys Girėnas over the Atlantic in 1933 was one of the first transatlantic flights in aviation history. Although tragically ended, the flight of the "Lituanica" was the second longest non-stop flight in the world (6411 km) and fourth in terms of time in the air (37 hours, 11 minutes).
