背面描述	The reverse features a bold, high-relief stylised representation of a medieval Latvian horseshoe fibula (pakavsakta) dating to the 8th–12th centuries, occupying nearly the full field. The arc of the fibula is rendered with segmented, textured detailing evoking the original metalwork construction, while the two terminals take the form of prominent four-pointed star-shaped finials in high relief. The long pin of the fibula crosses the interior of the horseshoe arc diagonally from upper right to lower left. The deeply mirrored proof field contrasts sharply with the matte, granular surface treatment of the fibula's body, emphasising the three-dimensional sculptural quality of the design.

附加信息	Part of Latvijas Banka's ongoing series documenting Baltic archaeological jewelry, this issue draws on Iron Age horseshoe fibulae recovered from burial and hoard sites across the eastern Baltic littoral — objects that circulated as both functional dress fasteners and portable wealth for centuries before coinage took hold in the region. The series itself is modest in mintage and sees steady absorption by collectors within Latvia, leaving relatively few examples in international circulation.
