The reverse of the coin depicts Zuikis Puikis, the main hero of the fairy tale written by the poet Eduardas Mieželaitis, having fun on his way to school and skittering on a path which finally leads to the number 2. The impression is enhanced by his friends, forest animals, which are telling the story of this fairy tale. The right side features the name of the fairy tale “Zuikis Puikis”, while the composition also has a gaming element: hidden alphabet letters that need to be found.

The obverse of the coin features a knitting which represents the main motif of the fairy tale, an inscription “Lietuva” (Lithuania) and a symbolic silhouette of the Vytis. The composition is surrounded by small stars and the moon as an allusion to a cosy evening when fairy tales are told. The right side contains the denomination of the coin €5 and 2022, the year of issue.
