10 Latu 16th Century Riga

This piece belongs to Latvia's ambitious commemorative program launched after re-independence, which used silver issues to systematically document Latvian urban and architectural history. The specific subject — 16th-century Riga — references the city's peak as a Hanseatic trading hub, when it ranked among the most commercially significant ports on the Baltic, handling grain, timber, and flax moving between Russia and western Europe.

KM#34 had a mintage of 10,000 pieces, struck at the Latvian State Mint.
