| Reverse description | The reverse displays the standard Euro 2 cent denomination design: a globe-projection map of Europe occupies the right half of the field, with the large numeral 2 superimposed at lower right. The left half of the field is divided by a vertical line, to the left of which twelve five-pointed stars are arranged in an arc, referencing the European Union emblem. The word SPECIMEN is inscribed in raised Latin letters along the upper border, replacing the customary denomination legend. |

| Additional information |
Lithuania's euro coinage was struck as specimens well before the country actually adopted the euro — the official changeover didn't happen until January 1, 2015, making early specimen strikes from the pre-accession period numismatically distinct from circulation issues. The extended gap between specimen production and actual monetary adoption means these pieces saw no economic life whatsoever.
