Interesting fact
The 20 Santimu coin from Latvia, minted in 1922, is interesting because it was produced during a brief period of independence for Latvia between World War I and World War II. Latvia had declared independence in 1918, but was annexed by the Soviet Union in 1940. The coin is a symbol of Latvia's short-lived independence and its efforts to establish its own currency and national identity.
