Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that blends traditional Latvian folk art with modernist elements. The coin's obverse side features a stylized image of a traditional Latvian folk dress, while the reverse side features a abstract pattern of interlocking shapes and lines that give the impression of movement and dynamism. This fusion of traditional and modern elements makes the coin a visually striking representation of Latvia's cultural heritage and its embrace of modernity.
