The reverse shows the fairy tale character Zuikis Puikis on his way to school, distracted by various fun activities until the path finally curves away leading to number 2 (meaning that Zuikis Puikis gets a low grade – two). The impression is enhanced by his friends having fun together – forest animals telling the plot of this fairy tale.

The obverse, like the other coins in the series, features a knitted pattern with the fairy tale motif: in this case, Zuikis Puikis learning the letters from A to Ž. At the bottom of the knit is a knitted inscription ‘Lithuania’ and a symbolic silhouette of the Vytis. In the background behind the knit are stars on a cosy evening with a growing moon as a child is listening to the fairy tale told/knitted to her.

The knitted element and the various phases of the moon will be a common feature of all the coins in this series.
