Lithuania 50 litu Rulers of Lithuania King Mindaugas PR70 PCGS silver coin 1996

The 1996 Lithuania 50 Litu silver coin from the Rulers of Lithuania series honors Mindaugas, the medieval ruler who became the first and only crowned King of Lithuania. Certified PCGS PR70DCAM, this superb Proof combines medieval history with refined heraldic art. The portrait side depicts Mindaugas in profile wearing royal armor and headgear, his raised gloved hand beside a vertical sword and a decorated shield bearing a mounted knight emblem. The surrounding legend identifies Mindaugas as King of Lithuania and records 1251–1263. The opposite side presents the Lithuanian Vytis coat of arms with armored knight, horse, sword and shield, set against an elaborate patterned background. A stylized medieval crown and long ceremonial sword dominate the lower composition, accompanied by LIETUVA, 50 LITU and 1996. Mindaugas unified Lithuanian lands, accepted Christianity and was crowned king in 1253, making his reign a landmark in Lithuanian statehood. Struck in silver and preserved in perfect PR70DCAM condition, this certified historical issue is a prestigious addition to a collection of European rulers and medieval themes.
