The "Honey Coin", which is how it is called, came out of a design contest organized by the Bank of Latvia, where the participants were asked to design a coin that was above all innovative. Artūrs Analts, industrial designer, presented his project under the name of "Honey" where the cells of a hive were represented in what simulates a portion of it, its contour corresponding to the geographical area of ​​Latvia and the Gulf of Riga.
The collection coin has a facial of 5 euros and is minted in silver and gold plated. The shape of the coin is unique: several coins can be placed side by side as pieces of a puzzle to build an even larger honeycomb, in the same way that bees do in their hive. The coin has been minted by the UAB Lietuvos monetų kalykla (Lithuania).

Honey has a special role in Latvia, along with the diligent honey bees is very present in their popular songs; It is an important food, traditional medicine and cosmetic product. Citizens, as busy as bees in their daily lives, fill their country like bees fill a hive. Therefore, the "Honey Currency" is a symbol of diligence and sweetness. Bees also have an important role to play in maintaining biological diversity, and their presence is an indicator of the health of nature.

Unique Objects

Occasionally, two different bidders may show up in the bidding history with the same bid amount. This occurs when one user's bid is exactly the same as an automatic (maximum) bid placed by another user earlier. Since the auto-bid was placed first, this takes preference. The bidding history will show both bids, with the auto-bid ranked as the higher of the two.


Double bid

It may appear that the same bid has been placed by two different bidders. This can occur if someone places a bid in another currency which is then rounded to the same amount as the previous bid in %{local_currency}.

This can occur for the following reasons:
1. If an opening bid does not meet a lot’s reserve price (hidden minimum), buyers may try outbidding their earlier bid in order to find that lot’s RP.
2. If an auto-bid (user-set maximum bid) is outbid, the bidding log will show the first and final steps of that user's auto-bid in a row. The new highest bid will be shown at the top.

Why is this bidder outbidding him- or herself?

Bids exclude the auction fee and shipping costs, which will be added during final payment. Any other costs or charges such as customs or import duties, customs clearance and handling may also apply during shipment of your lot and will be charged to you at a later stage if applicable.
