Latgalian ceramics are included in the Latvian cultural canon as one of the most vivid cultural signs of Latvia. The coin depicts a typical Latgale arrangement - a candlestick.
A total of 400 000 coins are scheduled to be released into circulation when the situation normalizes.
Latgalian ceramics will be the only euro commemorative coin released by the Bank of Latvia this year.
Euro commemorative coins are a legal tender in the Republic of Latvia and other countries of the euro area.
