Latvia

Latvia is a Northern European nation, one of the three Baltic republics. It adopted the euro currency in 2014, replacing the Latvian lats. The €2 coin features a Latvian folk maiden. This image was originally used on the silver 5 lats coin in 1929. The edge of the coin bears the inscription DIEVS * SVĒTĪ * LATVIJU (GOD BLESS LATVIA). The designer is Guntars Sietiņš.
