Latvia's "For the Children of the World" lats was issued as part of the country's broader commemorative program during its first decade of restored independence — a period when the Bank of Latvia was unusually active in producing collector silver, partly to generate hard currency revenue and partly to assert numismatic presence on the international market. The children's theme tied loosely to UNICEF's ongoing millennium campaigns, though this issue was not an official UNICEF product.
KM#48 is not scarce in absolute terms, but demand from the Baltic collector community keeps secondary market supply thin.
