Product Description

Latvia has issued a unique coin with the theme æBaltarsÆ. Baltars is a merger of Baltic Art. This art form was introduced about 100 years ago by Romans Suta (a Latvian artist 1896-1944). This art form is known for its bright colours with sharp contrasts. Over the years the Baltars have become the pride of Latvian national culture. They are beautiful decorative porcelain objects and on the coin is a picture of the work of Romans Suta from the year 1927 called æThe DanceÆ. On the reverse of the coin you will see the Baltars logo in the centre. At the top of the coin is the country name Latvija (Latvia), on the right hand side the year 2016 and at the bottom is the value of 5 Euro. The uniqueness of the coin is that the coin is struck in the form of a plate!
