| Reverse description | The reverse features a composition of concentric and expanding radio waves radiating from the center of the field, symbolizing the first broadcast transmission of Lithuanian Radio in 1926. A vertical inscription rising through the design reads 'LIETUVOS RADIJUI - 100', evoking the form of a radio mast and commemorating the centenary of Lithuanian Radio. The legendary opening words of the first Lithuanian Radio broadcast — 'Allo, allo – Lietuvos Radijas – Kaunas. Labą vakarą. Kas girdite mus – atsiliepkite!' — are inscribed in a circular or horizontal arrangement within the wave motif. |

| Additional information |
Lithuanian national radio broadcasting began in 1926, making 2026 its centennial — the occasion this coin was issued to mark. The state broadcaster, now operating as LRT, survived Soviet nationalization, decades of censorship, and a dramatic moment in January 1991 when Soviet troops seized the Vilnius TV tower and killed fourteen civilians attempting to defend it.
