| Obverse description | A raised relief map of Latvia occupies the central field, depicted in fine detail with textured landmass and coastal outline. A ring of small five-pointed stars frames the design along the inner border, referencing the European Union motif. The legend LATVIA arcs along the upper periphery, and the date 2014 appears to the right. Below the map, the inscription ESSAI - PATTERN - PROBE curves along the lower border, identifying this piece as a trial or pattern strike. |
