| Obverse description | The obverse features a stylized abstract design composed of a diagonal array of small square perforations or cut-outs arranged in a rhomboid cluster, representing scattered points of light, centered in the field. The legend LATVIJAS REPUBLIKA curves along the right rim, while the date 2002 is inscribed vertically alongside the lower right portion of the decorative motif. The design is stark and modernist, with the geometric pattern contrasting against the smooth, polished coin field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts an architectural rendering of the National Library of Latvia building, shown in perspective view with its distinctive sloping roof and modernist silhouette occupying the lower half of the field. Above the building, a cascading diagonal shower of small square perforations echoes the obverse motif, symbolizing light or knowledge emanating from the institution. The curved legend LATVIJAS NACIONĀLĀ BIBLIOTĒKA arcs along the left and upper rim, while the denomination 1 LATS appears prominently in the lower field beneath the architectural illustration. |
