The 2018 Latvia 2 euro commemorative coin dedicated to the region of Zemgale represents the second issue in a series celebrating the historical regions of the country. The national side features the coat of arms of Zemgale, which depicts a silver elk on a blue field, a symbol deeply rooted in the heraldic traditions of the area. Zemgale, located in the southern part of Latvia, is historically significant for its fertile plains and its role as the breadbasket of the nation. By highlighting this region, the coin pays tribute to the cultural identity and agricultural heritage that have shaped the Latvian landscape over centuries. This commemorative issue was released in 2018 with a mintage of 500,000 coins.
