The Latvian 2 euro standard circulation coin features the iconic portrait of a Latvian maiden, a design originally created for the 5 lats silver coin in 1929. This imagery serves as a profound symbol of national identity and sovereignty, reflecting the country's heritage and its enduring spirit. The maiden is depicted in profile, wearing traditional folk attire, which highlights the cultural roots of the Latvian people. Surrounding the portrait are the twelve stars of the European Union, representing unity and the nation’s integration into the eurozone. The inscription 'LATVIJA' is clearly displayed, reinforcing the country's pride in its history and its place within the broader European community. This coin was issued in 2016.
