Beschreibung Rückseite

The reverse of the coin features the silhouette of the main character in the fairy tale (the sister) and the symbolic figures of her twelve brothers, Black Ravens, descending and turning into human beings. A symbolic tattoo – the tree of life – on the sister’s back depicts the key moments of her life: birds, winds, clouds, a mountain, children, a bonfire and a crown are all depicted using Lithuanian folk ornaments, reinforcing the mystical plot of the fairy tale.
