So this coin will remind us and other Europeans about our historical roots and of the unique Baltic culture. In addition, I wish that this circle, rolled into your wallet, would be a sign of success and happiness,” said Deivis Stankevičius, the head of the cash division at the Bank of Lithuania during the coin presentation.
