A new coin from Latvia gives a twist to the old coin flip. On June 15 Latvijas Banka issued a silver collector coin dedicated to marriage.

The coin was designed by Krista and Reinis Dzudzilo, a married creative tandem, and this is their debut in coin art. The creators’ concept about the coin is that, in marriage traditions, two people are asked a question, with affirmative answers expected. This is a coin of absolute affirmative.

The obverse and the reverse become one. They denote one belief, one answer, and one being consisting of two individuals. Both sides of the coin are like each other’s reflection, and there does no way know which the first was.

The field of one side carries the national identity as LATVJA, and the other, the denomination, as 5 EURO. The gold-plated “yeses” are encircled by a gold plated rim and edge, which is inscribed 2021. The golden circle, like a ring, is an ideal shape.
