| Reverse description | The reverse presents a perpetual calendar composition across both the niobium centre and the outer silver ring. The central field displays a clock dial with hour and minute graduations marked in Roman numerals (I through XII) and Arabic numerals indicating minute intervals (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 60). The outer ring is engraved with the days of the month from 1 through 31 and the abbreviated names of all twelve months in archaic Latin form, arranged continuously around the circumference. |

| Additional information |
Issued as part of Latvia's "Coin of Time" series, this piece was struck the same year Latvia joined both NATO and the European Union — a deliberately chosen moment to anchor the series' opening theme. The niobium centre, which takes on color through anodization rather than plating, was a technically demanding choice that few European mints were equipped to handle at the time; the Austrian Mint produced it under contract.
