Obverse: the obverse of the coin features a portrait of a Latvian folk maiden, which was originally featured on the reverse of the 1929 silver 5 lats coin. It is half surrounded by the name of the country of origin 'LATVIJAS' (left) and 'REPUBLIKA' (right). The outer ring of the coin depicts the 12 stars of the European Union.
Reverse: the normal reverse of the €2 coin.
About the coin: this is the first Latvian 2-euro coin of UNC quality issued in 2014. The original design did not comply with the ECB rules as it reached the ring of the coin and changed one of the stars. The Latvian government decided that the redesigned monument would be less recognisable and decided to use the image of the Latvian virgin used on the €2 coin on the €1 coin.
