The standard issue 2 euro coin from Latvia features the iconic profile of a Latvian maiden, a design originally created by Rihards Zariņš for the five-lats silver coin in 1929. This portrait serves as a profound symbol of Latvian statehood, independence, and national identity. The maiden is depicted in profile, facing right, adorned with a traditional folk headpiece and braided hair, reflecting the country's rich cultural heritage and historical resilience. Surrounding the portrait is the country name LATVIJA, with the denomination and the twelve stars of the European Union arranged along the outer ring. This design remains a consistent representation of Latvia’s sovereign history within the eurozone. The coin was issued in 2021 as part of the standard circulation series.
