5 Euro Coats of Arms Coin

Latvia's coat of arms has its own complicated history — the design was suppressed entirely during the Soviet occupation and its restoration in 1990 carried explicit constitutional weight as a marker of recovered statehood. This coin was issued as part of Latvia's ongoing commemorative silver program, which accelerated noticeably after EU accession as the Bank of Latvia used collector issues to assert cultural and heraldic identity on an international stage.
