Columns of Gediminas or Pillars of Gediminids

This appears to be a decoration on the coin. The columns or pillars are a symbol which date to the beginning of Lithuania. Gediminas was a Grand Duke of Lithuania in the 14th century. These columns are supposedly his mark and can be seen on many Lithuanian coins onward, isolated or as a part of a coat of arms.
