| Reverse description | At the centre of the heptagonal field, the Arabic numeral 0 is rendered in large, prominent relief. The date 2007 is inscribed to the upper left of the central numeral, while the denomination inscription 1 LATS appears to its right. The field is enlivened by a sinuous Oriental-style ornamental pattern of curvilinear motifs, contrasting with the geometric treatment of the obverse and reinforcing the coin's thematic interplay between Eastern and Western numeral traditions. |

| Additional information |
Issued as part of Latvia's long-running collector lats program, this piece belongs to a series that the Bank of Latvia used aggressively through the 2000s to generate numismatic revenue ahead of anticipated eurozone entry — which was ultimately delayed until 2014. The "Coin of Digits" concept was designed to engage younger audiences with mathematical themes, an unusual mandate for a sovereign mint issue.
KM#84 was struck in a mintage of 10,000 pieces.
