Reverse

The reverse of the coin depicts the confrontation of the serpent and Eglė, the main characters of the fairy tale, the impression is amplified by Eglė’s hair, which allegorically blends into sea waves that foam either white or red. The body of the serpent is decorated with symbolic pictograms, which tell the story of this fairy tale, and includes the name of the fairy tale “Eglė – žalčių karalienė” (Eglė – Queen of Serpents). The composition also features tree silhouettes as an allusion to the children that were turned into trees.
