History of Gold" Award: The coin was awarded at the international numismatic exhibition Vicenza Numismatica held at Vicenza, Nord Italy, in 2008. Special recognition from the National Committee, commemorating the 5th Centenary of the birth of Andrea Palladio (1508–1580), was awarded to Lithuania for having chosen a geometric representation of the golden section that was the background of every architectural proportion in the works by Andrea Palladio
