Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Vidzeme 2 Euro coin from Latvia is that it features a unique design that reflects the region's cultural heritage. The coin's obverse side depicts a traditional Latgalian ornament, while the reverse side features a stylized image of a wild boar, which is a symbol of strength and resilience in Latgalian culture. This design was chosen to highlight the rich cultural traditions of the Vidzeme region and to promote awareness of Latgalian heritage.
