| Reverse description | The reverse presents a sculptural relief depicting a large gathering of stylized human figures, rendered in a flowing, impressionistic manner that evokes a crowd of people united in collective memory and national identity. The figures, varying in size and posture, fill the upper and central field, gradually dissolving into abstract forms toward the upper rim, suggesting the passage of generations. The inscription 'LATVIJA' appears in raised Latin letters along the lower portion of the field. The overall design, engraved by Ligita Franckeviča, conveys a sense of community, remembrance, and the Latvian national spirit in a refined artistic style. |

| Additional information |
Issued as part of Latvia's ongoing fairytale series, this coin draws from Latvian folk narrative rather than classical mythology — a deliberate cultural positioning by Latvijas Banka to anchor its collector program in indigenous storytelling traditions. The two-colour printing process applied directly to the silver surface was still a relatively novel technique in European commemorative minting at the time of issue.
