5 Lati silver coin, considered one of the most emblematic issues of the Republic of Latvia during the interwar period. The obverse features the famous allegorical female portrait popularly known as “Milda,” symbol of the Latvian nation, depicted in a right-facing profile with a gathered braid and a traditional headdress decorated with stars, in a design of great elegance and artistic refinement. The reverse shows the national coat of arms of Latvia held by a lion and a griffin, crowned by three stars symbolizing the historical regions of the country, along with the denomination of 5 Lati and the issue date. The specimen preserves full, well-defined relief, with abundant original shine visible under a soft silvery patina. The fields show slight contact marks typical of a non-circulating issue, in accordance with the MS62 grade, maintaining an excellent visual presence. This piece constitutes one of the great icons of Baltic numismatics and represents an important testament to Latvian independence prior to World War II.
