5 Euros Modernism

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.
