“In the issuance of collectors coins, it is not the first time that we draw attention to landmark events in the history of Lithuania. It is symbolic that this coin, dedicated to the 1863–1864 Uprising, is brought to life in Paberžė—the location, where the first squads of Lithuanian insurgents marched to battle against the Tsarist Empire. The coin was issued on the day when, 150 years ago, the insurgents in Poland launched a manifesto for the Commonwealth of Two Nations to be restored. Therefore, January 22 is considered the date of the uprising with which it was attempted to re-establish an independent state,” says Audrius Misevičius, a member of the Board of the Bank of Lithuania, Chairman of the Currency Creation Commission.
