2 Euros 100th Anniversary of the Baltic States

Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia all declared independence in 1918, though under drastically different circumstances — Latvia's declaration came in November, after the armistice, with German troops still on Latvian soil and a Soviet-backed government simultaneously claiming Riga. Full consolidation of Latvian statehood required a war of independence that lasted until 1920. This coin marks the centenary of that declaration, issued jointly with the other two Baltic states as coordinated commemoratives rather than a shared design.
