Description:
Reverse
The reverse features distinctive attributes of Užgavénés, a lively end-of-winter celebration: in the centre - Moré, the effigy of winter, surrounded by a beggar, a crane, a witch baking pancakes, Lašininis, a symbol of winter, Kanapinis, a symbol of spring, and a goat playing an accordion.
The composition is surrounded by the inscription UŽGAVÉNÉS and the slogan of the celebration: ŽIEMA, ŽIEMA, BÉK IŠ KIEMO! (WINTER, WINTER GO AWAY FROM OUR YARDS!).
A pad-printing technology was used to create the impression of flames surrounding Moré.

Obverse
The obverse features a character of Užgavénés - a horse rider, i.e. a person dressed up in a costume that makes him appear to be riding a horse.
The coin also features the inscription LIETUVA (LITHUANIA), the year of issue (2019), denomination (€5), and the mintmark of the Lithuanian Mint.
