| A brief annotation | After the division of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth among Russia, Prussia and Austria at the end of the 18th century, the lands of the former Grand Duchy of Lithuania went to the Russian Empire. Throughout the 19th century uprisings against the subjugators broke out more than once in different lands of the former state. One of the last attempts to restore the independent state was the 1863–1864 Uprising. The succession to the throne of a new tsar, Alexander II of Russia, in 1855 marked the so-called Epoch of Liberty with more favourable сonditions for different social groups to publicly express their ambitions. Following the example of the Kingdom of Poland and in solidarity with it, religious patriotic demonstrations started in Lithuanian cities in the spring of 1861. Like in Poland, the main purpose of the insurgents in Lithuania was the re-establishment of the Commonwealth of Two Nations with the same borders as in 1772. |

Немного не додумана.

Пожадничали литовские авторы с фантазией. Реверс - вообще, выставка холодного оружия с жестоким умыслом. И непонятно, это оружие то ли восставших, то ли "поработителей".

Может стоило у "монгольская природа" идею позаимствовать для оформления оружия?

Если уж и показывать историю своего государства, то надо это делать более красочней.

видимо историчность этого момента слабо кто помнит, оттого и не слишком удачное исполнение
