This release is dedicated to Lithuanian national defense.

The goal of the national defense is a free Lithuania in a free Europe. The coin recognizes and commemorates Lithuania's defense efforts, highlighting the country's commitment to territorial integrity, independence, and international security.

The obverse features the contours of Lithuania. The state borders are surrounded by a stylized spine barrier, symbolizing the concept of holistic and whole-of-society defense. The image of the hedgehog also represents the openness and fragility of free societies, which must be defended, to the utmost, against external threats. Lithuania is presented as a hedgehog that remains at the ready to defend itself always. The center of the obverse bears the inscription “LIETUVA” (LITHUANIA), the year of issue (2025), and the mintmark of the Lithuanian Mint.

The reverse features the typical geographical image of Europe.
