The 2017 Latvia 2 euro commemorative coin dedicated to the region of Kurzeme celebrates one of the four historical and cultural regions of the nation. The national side features the official coat of arms of Kurzeme, which depicts a red lion facing left against a silver shield. This heraldic symbol has long represented the historical Duchy of Courland and Semigallia, reflecting the region's significant role in the development of Latvian statehood and its unique cultural identity. By highlighting Kurzeme, the design honours the distinct heritage and historical legacy of western Latvia. The coin was issued as part of a series commemorating the country's diverse regional identities. This coin was minted in 2017 with a total mintage of 530,000 pieces.
