Lithuania’s Hill of Crosses religious pilgrimage site is featured on its newest circulating commemorative €2 coin.

The obverse of the coin depicts the famous site near Šiauliai on the Castle Hill of Jurgaiciai (Domantai), the scene showing fragments of wooden and forged crosses, symbolizing Lithuanian cross-crafting and folk culture. It is a major site of Catholic pilgrimage in Lithuania, especially so since Soviet occupation.

The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.
