| Obverse description | The obverse features a stylized relief composition depicting a figure manning the barricades, rendered in a fragmented mosaic-like artistic style evoking broken stone or rubble. Partial words from protest banners or slogans — including fragments reading 'ATVES', 'BALT', and 'BRĪ' — are visible across the central field, referencing the January 1991 independence demonstrations. The date '2006' appears vertically along the left inner rim. The legend 'Latvijas' arcs across the upper field and 'Republika' across the lower field, both in Latin script. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts multiple stylized representations of barricade obstacles — angular, jagged forms suggestive of dragon's teeth or improvised street barriers — scattered across the upper and lower portions of the field in a dynamic, asymmetric arrangement. The field is divided diagonally by contrasting mirror-polished and frosted surfaces, enhancing the proof finish. The inscription 'janvāris 1991' curves along the upper field in Latin script, commemorating the January 1991 barricades. The denomination '1 LATS' is inscribed in two lines at the center-bottom of the field. |
