Reverse: The artistic depiction of the legend of Vilnius' founding: according to the legend, the Grand Duke of Lithuania, Gediminas, after a hunt, dreamed of an iron wolf howling so loudly that the water in the Neris River rippled. The priest Lizdeika explained to Gediminas that a city would be built in that place, whose fame would spread throughout the world. The composition is surrounded by the inscriptions "VILNIUS," "700," and the initials of the author.
