The goal of the national defence is a free Lithuania in a free Europe. It recognizes and commemorates Lithuania's defense efforts, highlighting the country's commitment to territorial integrity, independence, and regional/international security.
The obverse features
the contours of Lithuania. The state borders are surrounded by a
stylized spine barrier, symbolizing the concept of holistic and
whole-of-society defense. The image of the hedgehog also represents the
openness and fragility of free societies, which must be defended, to the
utmost, against external threats. Lithuania is presented as a hedgehog
that remains at the ready to defend itself always. The center of the
obverse bears the inscription “LIETUVA” (LITHUANIA), the year of issue
(2025), and the mintmark of the Lithuanian Mint.
The reverse features the typical geographical image of Europe.
