| Obverse description | The central field displays a large Latvian folk symbol known as the 'Jumis' or crossed fire cross (ugunskrusts), rendered in red enamel with silver outlines against a dark polished field — an ancient Baltic good-luck and fertility symbol. The textured border frames the hexagonal field, and the legend LATVIJA appears in red enamel lettering along the lower edge. |
