Obverse
National side (the obverse) of the commemorative coin dedicated to defence features the contours of Lithuania. The state borders are surrounded by a stylized spine barrier, symbolizing the concept of holistic and whole-of-society defence. 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 coin’s outer ring bears the 12 stars of the EU flag
