Interesting fact
The 10 Santimu coin from Latvia, minted in 1922, is interesting because it was produced during a brief period of independence for the country, between the two World Wars. Latvia had declared independence from Russia in 1918, but was annexed by the Soviet Union in 1940. This coin is a tangible reminder of that short-lived independence and the country's efforts to establish its own currency and national identity.
