Product Description
This special coloured 2 Euro coin has the theme Letgallen. Letgallen is the easternmost province of Latvia and borders on Russia and Belarus. About one third of the Latvian population lives in Letgallen. The region is also known as the land of the lakes. What is special is that the Reformation did not take place in Letgallen and it is predominantly Catholic. There is a large Russian minority living in Letgallen. On the coin one sees the blue-grey coat of arms of Letgallen. On this crest a lion walking to the right, with a sword in his hand, is depicted. Above the coat of arms the country name Latvija (Latvia) is coloured in white. The province name Letgallen is coloured in white below the coat of arms. On the right side of the coin the year 2017 is coloured red. The country name and province name together with the year form the colours of Latvia. Around the edge of the coin DIEVS * SVETI * LATVIJU (God Bless Latvia) is printed.
