A geographical map of Western Europe spans the outer ring and inner core on the right side of the coin. The inscription 2 EURO is superimposed over the map of Europe, with the numeral “2” located in an open field representing the eastern Atlantic Ocean. 12 stars are located on the right side of the outer ring, with six stars atop the map of Europe and six stars below it; six vertical stripes cut across the inner core of the coin, visually connecting the upper and lower star segments.

The edge has some wrong inscription!
——
The Bank of Lithuania informs that part of the 2 euro commemorative coins dedicated to the Žuvintas Biosphere Reserve were minted with an error in the edge lettering. Instead of the Lithuanian inscription LAISVĖ * VIENYBĖ * GEROVĖ *, the Latvian inscription DIEVS * SVĒTĪ * LATVIJU is used on the edge. The error only occurs on coins that are in the BU coincard. It is estimated that up to 10 percent of the BU coins got the Latvian edge lettering.

"The Bank of Lithuania asked the Lithuanian Mint to clarify the circumstances of the events and to ensure the prevention of errors in the future. An internal investigation is being carried out at the Lithuanian Mint, and additional process control and prevention actions have been taken. The Lithuanian Mint regrets the situation."
