Latvia 1 lats Karlis Zale Horseman Sculpture Art PR70 PCGS silver coin 2012

Latvia 1 Lats 2012 “Kārlis Zāle” is a silver Proof commemorative honoring the influential Latvian sculptor whose monumental art became closely associated with the country’s national identity. The obverse features a powerful left-facing portrait of Zāle, modeled with strong sculptural planes and a textured background. The surrounding composition includes the denomination 1 LATS, LATVIJAS REPUBLIKA, the artist’s name and the date 2012. The reverse reproduces one of Zāle’s monumental sculptural compositions: a seated warrior or horseman beside a massive horse, rendered in broad geometric forms with flowing drapery, muscular contours and an architectural base. Kārlis Zāle (1888–1942) was a leading Latvian sculptor best known for major national monuments in Riga, including the Freedom Monument and the sculptural ensemble of the Brothers’ Cemetery. His work combines monumental classicism with powerful national symbolism. Struck in .925 silver with a Proof finish, this exceptional example is certified PCGS PR70, the highest numerical grade, making it especially desirable for collectors of Latvian art, sculpture and certified world coins.
