The outer ring, rendered in the same Nordic gold alloy, bears the twelve stars of the European Union arranged in a continuous circle. |

| Additional information |
Lithuania joined the eurozone on January 1, 2015, making it the last of the three Baltic states to do so — Estonia had adopted the euro in 2011, Latvia in 2014. The timing closed a chapter that began with the Soviet-era ruble, ran through the transitional talonas, and then two decades of the litas pegged first to the US dollar and later to the euro itself. By the time these coins entered circulation, the exchange rate had been effectively fixed for years; the changeover was administratively complex but economically undramatic.
