Interesting fact

The Curonian Spit coin (50 Litų) was designed by Lithuanian artist Giedrius Paulauskis and features a unique shape, resembling a stylized wave. The coin's irregular shape symbolizes the dynamic movement of the sea and the sand dunes of the Curonian Spit, a 98 km long and 0.4-4 km wide peninsula in western Lithuania that separates the Baltic Sea from the Curonian Lagoon.
