The 2019 Latvia 2 euro commemorative coin, titled The Rising Sun, features a design that holds profound historical significance for the nation. The central motif depicts a stylised rising sun, which serves as a powerful symbol of Latvia’s statehood and national identity. This imagery was originally incorporated into the coat of arms of the newly formed Latvian Riflemen battalions during the First World War, later becoming an emblem of the country's independence. By highlighting this sun, the design honours the historical struggle for sovereignty and the emergence of the Latvian state. The coin is issued in a standard circulation format. The mintage for this 2019 issue is 300,000 coins.
