LATVIA. 5 Lati. 1931.

- Value: 5 Lati.
- Year: 1931.
- Inscriptions: Obverse: LATVIJAS REPUBLIKA. Reverse: 5 LATI · 1931.
- Grading: MS62 (GBCA).

5 Lati silver coin, considered one of the 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 profile with a braided hair and a headdress decorated with stars, in a design of great elegance and artistic refinement. The reverse shows the national coat of arms of Latvia supported by a lion and a griffin, crowned by three stars representing the historical regions of the country, along with the denomination 5 Lati and the issue date. The specimen retains full, well-defined reliefs, with abundant original shine visible under a soft silvery patina. The fields show slight mint-contact marks typical of a non-circulating piece, 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 testimony to Latvian independence prior to World War II.
