The reverse of the coin has a damascened background. The centre of the reverse shows Albertas Goštautas, Chancellor of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and Palatine of Vilnius, presenting the Statute of Lithuania to King Sigismund the Old. At the top of the coin are the Columns of Gediminas and at the bottom is the Abdank, the Coat of Arms of Goštautas.

On the edge of the coin: BUKIME TEISES VERGAI, KAD GALETUME NAUDOTIS LAISVEMIS (LET US BE SLAVES OF LAW SO THAT WE COULD ENJOY FREEDOMS).
