Edge The inscriptions LATVIJAS BANKA (Bank of Latvia) and LATVIJAS
REPUBLIKA (Republic of Latvia), separated by a dot. The obverse
depicts Our Lady with the Child Jesus in a mandorla against a
background of the landscape of Latgale rich in lakes and small
hillocks. Largely due to the activities of Jesuits who arrived in
the 16th century, Latgale is quite often called the land of Mara
(Terra Mariana). Jesuits established the first quality educational
establishments and provided translations of literature, first and
foremost of the Gospel. We can say that Latgale, in some ways a
poor but unique and beautiful part of Latvia, is still under the
protection of Our Lady. As a result of Livonian wars Latgale found
itself under the Polish sphere of influence. The land was managed
by land holding nobles of Polish or other ethnic origin obeying the
Polish rule; the Catholic faith was capable of standing against the
reformation and still plays a significant role in people´s
mentality today. The central element of the coin´s reverse is a
cross from a roadside crucifix typical of Latgale against a
background of a flax field in blossom. Flax is a traditional crop
in Latgale and the symbol of agriculture of this part of Latvia. To
the left of the cross one can see a sowing peasant personifying
fertility and hope; to the right, there is an angel as a guardian
of a person´s aspirations.
