The 2014 Latvia 2 euro commemorative coin celebrates Riga’s designation as the European Capital of Culture. The national side features a detailed depiction of the Riga skyline, highlighting the city’s historic silhouette and its iconic architectural landmarks. By choosing this motif, Latvia honours the capital’s long-standing role as a vibrant centre of art, history, and European heritage. The design serves as a tribute to the city's cultural significance and its integration into the broader European narrative. This commemorative issue was produced in 2014 with a mintage of 1,000,000 coins.
