| Beschrijving voorzijde | The octagonal obverse features fragments of two celebrated works of Latvian modernist graphic design: a stationery paper set (1968) bearing the horse motif, designed by Uldis Razums, and a decorative graphic element drawn from the cover of the record sleeve 'Džeza festivāls 68' (Jazz Festival 68, 1968) by Gunārs Kirke. The design is rendered with frosting at three distinct levels of intensity, creating depth and visual contrast, with select decorative details highlighted in applied gold plating. The inscription LATVIJA appears vertically along the upper left of the field, while the date 2020 is inscribed vertically at the upper right. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued as part of Latvia's long-running collector series celebrating Latvian art movements, this piece honors the Modernism current that took hold in the country during the interwar period — a brief but extraordinarily productive window between independence in 1918 and Soviet occupation in 1940. Latvian modernist artists absorbed influences from the Bauhaus, German Expressionism, and Parisian avant-garde circles, refracting them through a distinctly Baltic sensibility.
The selective frosting and gold-plated treatment is handled at the Latvian State Mint in Riga, which has built a specific technical reputation for this multi-finish silver work across the series.
