Description: Featuring the icon Teutonic Horseman this coin celebrates Dr. Jonas Basanavicius on this one year issue. There is edge lettering that only a Lithuanian can appreciate: TAUTOS GEROVETAVO GEROVE. Designed by Juozas Zikaras, this example is much nicer in hand, with bright surfaces and very slight problems.
