| Obverse lettering | 5 EURO LATVIJA 2015 (Translation: 5 Euro Latvia 2015) |
| Reverse description | The reverse presents a stylized bird's-eye aerial view of Riga Castle rendered in the center of the square flan, conveying the architectural layout and massing of the historic fortress complex. The inscription RĪGAS PILS, meaning Riga Castle in Latvian, arcs across the upper portion of the field above the aerial depiction. The year 1515, commemorating the five-hundredth anniversary of the castle's foundation in its current form, is placed in the lower portion of the field. The design employs a clean, graphic approach that contrasts the architectural plan view with the decorative border of the square flan. |
