| Additional information |
Latvia's 1 lats coins of this period were part of a deliberate national identity program following re-independence, with rotating reverse designs issued periodically rather than a single fixed type. The stork was chosen for its deep association with Latvian rural folklore — the bird's nesting on farmhouses was considered a sign of good fortune, a belief embedded in Latvian folk tradition long before the Soviet occupation interrupted such cultural expressions for five decades.
