| Obverse description | The obverse features the Vytis, the Lithuanian national coat of arms depicting an armoured knight on horseback, rendered within a stylised rectangular frame. To the left of the frame, the date '2017' is inscribed vertically, while the denomination '20 €' appears vertically to the right. The national name 'LIETUVA' is legend across the upper field above the central motif. Below the frame, a schematic semiotic diagram with the notation 'ne B' and 'ne A' references the square of veridiction developed by linguist Algirdas Julius Greimas, integrating a conceptual scientific element into the design. The mintmark 'LMK' appears in the lower field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a portrait of Lithuanian-French semiotician Algirdas Julius Greimas in right-facing three-quarter profile, rendered in a detailed engraved style against a lightly textured field. His name is inscribed in two parts flanking the portrait: 'ALGIRDAS' vertically along the left border and 'GREIMAS' vertically along the right border, with 'JULIUS' arching across the upper field. The centenary numeral '100' appears in the lower field, commemorating the 100th anniversary of his birth. A semiotic notation diagram with the labels 'ne B' and 'ne A' is incorporated into the lower portion of the design, echoing the obverse's thematic reference to Greimas's square of veridiction. |
