Product Description

Latvia has issued a special 5 Euro coin which is dedicated to all Latvian folk songs with a poetic message. ôSmith forges in the air, the coals flow into the Daugava; I spread my scarf on the floor, and collect a pile of silverö. This is the translated text on the face and reverse sides of this coin. On the face of the coin is a scarf lying on the floor. From the heavens come all kinds of jewellery that rain onto the scarf. Below this the value of 5 Euro and the year 2017 are displayed. On the reverse of the coin is the "Rider" who represents the thunderstorm. He has a ball in his right hand from which nine lightning bolts emanate. There are clouds and raindrops around his horse and steam comes from the horse's nostrils. The raindrops are the result of the storm and the associated rain. This rain makes the soil fertile. The raindrops can be compared, as it were, with the face of the coin where the jewellery falls from the sky like rain. The coin is presented in a luxury package and is supplied with a certific ate.
