Latvia 5 Euro 2018 Honey Coin

A "Busy Bee", who does not know this expression. A bee is always busy just like humans. An important difference is that they never sleep! Bees have provided humans with honey for decades. Honey was known thousands of years ago as a medicine and it was, and is, healthy to eat. It is only from the 18th century onwards that there is beekeeping in Europe. In Latvia most farmers also kept bees to provide food. Together with the famous amber which has almost the same colour as honey, these form a whole. To compare the occupation of people in daily life with the occupation of a bee, Latvia has issued a special coin of 5 Euro. This exclusive coin has the shape of a Honeycomb! On the face of this unique coin are a number of honey cells and the value indication of 5 Euro. On the reverse of the coin are, again, a number of honey cells. These honey cells generally indicate the geographical contours of the country of Latvia, in which the Gulf of Riga is also clearly visible. Furthermore, the country name LATVIJA (Latvia) and the year 2018 are shown. This gilt silver coin is presented in a luxurious package and is supplied together with a certificate of authenticity. This extremely special coin was sold out in Latvia within a few hours. Fortunately, we have been able to buy a number of copies!
