Smelt fishing by attracting
Obverse:
Both sides of the coin depict smelt fishing by attracting: wooden mallets rhythmically strike the end of a board placed in a man-made hole in the ice and create vibrations that attract the fish; the vibrations make them turn in circles and ultimately get entangled in the nets. The obverse of the coin portrays the view from above the ice. It features Vytis, the coat of arms of the Republic of Lithuania, formed as if from frost, the inscription LIETUVA (LITHUANIA), the year of issue (2019) and denomination €1.50.
Reverse:
