| Reverse description | The reverse features a centrally positioned straw effigy — the traditional Morė figure of the Užgavėnės festival — rendered in high relief with arms extended horizontally, dominating the field. Surrounding the effigy are multiple figures of costumed revelers and masked characters in animated poses, illustrating the folk festivities of the Lithuanian Shrovetide celebration. The inscription 'UŽGAVĖNĖS' arcs prominently along the upper rim, while the phrase 'ŽIEMA ŽIEMA BĖK IŠ KIEMO!' — meaning 'Winter, winter, run from our yard!' — curves along the lower portion of the field and rim. The composition is executed in a lively, folk-art inspired style with fine detail in the figural groupings. The plain inner field between the figures provides contrast to the densely decorated scene. |
