Latvia 5 Euro Gold 2021 'The Key'

Latvia 5 Euro Gold 2021 'The Key'. Latvia has issued a Gold 5 Euro coin with the theme 'The Key' - referring to one of the oldest Roman Gods 'Janus'. He is the God of the doorways, the God of the beginning and of the end. That is why the month of January is named after him - the beginning. The key to happiness lay in the hands of Janus, which is why people gave each other coins on 1st January. In Latvia the key is associated with both pleasure and trouble 'He who finds the key is lucky' but if you blow into the keyhole the devil will come to your home! From the old Latvian heritage so-called 'Hope boxes' were made by ancient craftsmen. These 'Hope Chests' could be opened with 'The Key'. 'Hope Chests' showed the wealth of the daughter's family and could only be opened by the man's family with the correct key. On the face of the coin is a key together with the country name LATVIJA (Latvia). On the reverse of the coin is an image of a keyhole, the year 2021, and the value indication of 5 Euro. The coin is presented in a beautiful case and is supplied with a certificate of authenticity.
