Latvian 2020 €2 euro commemorative coin and coin set

Latgalian pottery is part of the Latvian Cultural Canon and has become one of the most striking examples of Latvian culture.
The new commemorative coin features a candelabra – a typical Latgalian ceramic candle holder. Latgale and Kurzeme have seen the traditional pottery making develop for an extended period of time, but it is in Latgale only that it has been preserved down the ages and passed on from generation to generation.
The author of the graphic design of the national side of the new commemorative coin is artist Gundega Rancāne, while the author of the plaster model is Jānis Strupulis.
