| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a large circular medallion rendered in intaglio, derived from traditional Latvian woodcarving motifs found on a distaff, with intricate geometric and floral patterns radiating from the centre. The Latvian national coat of arms appears in intaglio in the lower right corner, while the year of issue '2006' is printed beneath it. Guilloche underprint in green and teal tones fills the background across the full field. |
