| 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. |
