Interesting fact
The 2 Santimi coin from Latvia, minted between 1937 and 1939, features a unique design that reflects the country's cultural heritage. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized image of a Latvian folk maiden, while the reverse side features a sprig of oak leaves, symbolizing strength and resilience. This coin is particularly interesting because it was minted during a brief period of independence for Latvia, between the two World Wars, and its design reflects the country's desire for self-determination and national identity.
