| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bare-headed left-facing bust of President Antanas Smetona, depicted in civilian dress with a high collar and tie, fills the central field in fine portrait relief. A circular legend arching around the upper periphery reads VALSTYBĖS PREZIDENTAS A. SMETONA, with the denomination 2 LITAI 2 inscribed along the lower rim, flanked by small dot stops. The portrait is rendered in a restrained, formal style befitting an official state pattern issue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The 1938 Lithuanian pattern coinage was produced under significant political pressure — Antanas Smetona's authoritarian government was acutely aware that Soviet and German territorial ambitions were closing in, and the regular coin program was already winding down. Lithuania would lose Memel to Germany in March 1939 and Soviet occupation followed in 1940, effectively ending independent coinage altogether. This pattern never entered circulation.
