| 裏面の説明 | The reverse presents a matted relief depiction of Lielais Kristaps (Big Kristaps), the legendary giant of Latvian folklore, shown striding with a child carried upon his shoulder. The figure is rendered in varying degrees of metal matting to achieve sculptural depth within the round field. The semicircular inscription LIELAIS KRISTAPS arcs to the left of the central motif, while XV GS. (15th century) arcs to the right. The commemorative inscription RIGA-800 is placed in the lower portion of the field beneath the figure, referencing the 800th anniversary of the city of Riga. |

Issued as part of Latvia's ambitious commemorative program following restored independence, this piece honors Riga's medieval mercantile history during the Hanseatic League period, when the city functioned as one of the dominant trading hubs on the eastern Baltic. Riga joined the Hanse formally in 1282, and its merchants controlled the flow of furs, wax, and grain from the Russian interior westward into northern Europe for generations.
KM#36 was struck at the Finnish Mint in Vantaa, which produced the majority of Latvia's commemorative silver issues during the 1990s while the country rebuilt its own monetary infrastructure after Soviet dissolution.
