| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a serene, minimalist winter landscape showing a frozen, ice-covered surface with a trail of dark footprints or ice holes receding toward the horizon, rendered with fine linear engraving to suggest the texture of ice and snow. The name 'VEIDENBAUMS' is inscribed in flowing cursive script along the upper portion of the field, serving as the primary legend identifying the honored poet. The date '2017' appears in cursive lettering at the base of the design. The composition evokes the sparse, contemplative imagery characteristic of Veidenbaums' lyrical poetry and the Latvian winter landscape. |
