The divided date '20' and '04' flanks the central design on either side, while the denomination inscription 'VIENS 1 LATS' (ONE 1 LATS) runs in a semicircular arc along the lower portion of the inner ring. |

| 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.
