Latvia 5 lati First Republic Coat of Arms KM-9 MS62 PCGS silver coin 1929

The 1929 Latvia 5 Lati silver coin is a classic issue of the First Latvian Republic, combining national symbolism with one of the country’s most recognizable historic coin designs. The obverse features a finely modeled right-facing portrait of a young Latvian woman wearing traditional national dress and an ornamented headdress, framed by the state name. The reverse presents Latvia’s elaborate coat of arms: a rising sun above a divided shield containing a lion and griffin, three stars above, and a rampant lion and griffin as supporters. Oak branches, decorative ribbons and national heraldic details fill the lower composition, together with the 1929 date and 5 Lati denomination. Introduced during Latvia’s interwar independence, this imagery expresses statehood, regional identity and national heritage. Struck in silver and listed as KM-9, this example is certified PCGS MS62, preserving the historic design in collectible Mint State condition. An appealing choice for collectors of Baltic history, heraldry, traditional costume and European silver coinage.
