The Latvian 2 euro standard circulation coin features the iconic portrait of a folk maiden, a design that has become a symbol of national identity since the country adopted the euro. This imagery originates from the pre-war five-lats silver coin, representing the cultural heritage and historical continuity of the Latvian people. The maiden is depicted in profile, wearing traditional folk attire, which serves as a poignant reminder of the nation's resilience and its deep-rooted connection to Baltic traditions. Surrounding the portrait are the twelve stars of the European Union, symbolising unity and cooperation across the continent. The reverse side follows the common European design used by all member states. This standard issue coin was minted in 2019.
