5 Lati Commemorative coin 'Five lats'

Latvia's gold 5 Lati series revived a denomination that had been struck in silver during the interwar First Republic, a period abruptly ended by Soviet occupation in 1940. The 2003 issue belongs to a modern commemorative program that leaned heavily on that interwar symbolism — a deliberate act of monetary continuity for a state that had only re-established its independence in 1991.

Fr#25 places it squarely in the Faehn reference for modern Latvian gold, a relatively thin catalog given how recently the country resumed sovereign coinage.
