| Aanvullende informatie |
Latvia restored its pre-war lats currency in 1993 after breaking from the Soviet ruble zone, and this 1998 issue belongs to a commemorative program explicitly designed to invoke the interwar republic — the period when the lats first circulated, from 1922 until Soviet occupation ended it in 1940. The denomination itself carries political weight that no post-Soviet Baltic currency program was shy about pressing.
KM#31 is part of a multi-coin series honoring Riga's architectural heritage across centuries. The 20th-century installment focuses on the Art Nouveau building boom that made Riga one of Europe's most concentrated examples of Jugendstil architecture — much of it constructed between 1896 and 1913.
