| Additional information |
Latvia's post-independence coinage program moved quickly after the 1918 declaration, but the new lats monetary system required extensive pattern work before production contracts were finalized. The 1922 nickel patterns were struck in limited numbers as the Latvian government evaluated compositions and designs ahead of committing to full production runs — the circulating 10 santimu pieces ultimately went out in bronze-nickel rather than pure nickel.
Pattern survivors from this evaluation phase are institutionally and privately rare in roughly equal measure.
