Latvia 1 ounce Independence Legation Series X#5b PF 68 NGC bronze coin 1988

The 1988 Latvia 1 Ounce Independence Legation Series X#5b bronze coin commemorates the 70th anniversary of Latvia’s declaration of independence in 1918. Certified NGC PF68, this Government in Exile issue preserves powerful symbols of Latvian statehood. One side depicts Riga’s Freedom Monument with the female figure of Liberty raising three stars above her head. Behind the monument, a large sun sends long rays across the field, while 1918 and 1988 identify the anniversary. The opposite side displays Latvia’s detailed national coat of arms: a shield with rising sun, lion and griffin, flanked by a heraldic lion and winged griffin. Three stars crown the composition, while oak branches, leaves, ribbon and ornamental tassels appear below; 1 OUNCE indicates the denomination. Created during the Soviet period, this Legation Series piece reflects the continuity of Latvia’s pre-war statehood tradition among Latvian representatives abroad. Its bronze finish, historical context, Freedom Monument and intricate heraldry give this certified commemorative distinctive appeal.
