The figure is rendered in bold relief against a plain, polished field. The legend LATVIA is inscribed along the right periphery in capital letters. |

Liberia's micro-gold series of the 2000s and 2010s targeted the souvenir and novelty collector market, with face values denominated in dollars bearing no relation to Liberian monetary reality. The "12 Dollars Latvia" issue is one of dozens in a sprawling run of similarly-sized pieces commemorating foreign nations — a format produced almost entirely for export to European collectors, never intended to circulate anywhere.
