| Reverse description | The reverse presents a narrative sequence of relief-engraved scenes depicting the history of the first book printed in the Latvian language, beginning with its production at a printing press, followed by workers loading barrels for transport, the inspection of a shipment at a harbour, and the burning of confiscated volumes. The date '1525', referencing the year of the first Latvian-language printed work, appears in the upper left field. The commemorative legend 'PIRMĀS LATVIEŠU GRĀMATAS STĀSTS' ('THE STORY OF THE FIRST LATVIAN BOOK') curves along the right side of the coin in a semi-circular arrangement. |
