By choosing this motif, the Latvian authorities highlight the nation’s commitment to biodiversity and the preservation of its unique wildlife heritage. The bird is depicted with artistic detail, reflecting the importance of the species in the local ecosystem and the ongoing efforts to maintain its natural habitat. This commemorative issue was produced in 2015 with a mintage of 1,000,000 coins for general circulation.
