Silver coin of 5 Lati, considered one of the most emblematic issues of the Republic of Latvia during the interwar period. The obverse features the famous allegorical female portrait commonly known as “Milda,” a symbol of the Latvian nation, depicted in right-facing profile with a gathered braid and a traditional headdress adorned 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 that symbolize the historical regions of the country, together with the denomination of 5 Lati and the issue date. The specimen retains full, well-defined relief, with abundant original luster visible beneath a soft silver patina. The fields show slight contact marks typical of a non-circulated conservation, in line 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 before World War II.
