This Latvian 5 euro coin celebrates Riga Fashion and contemporary design culture, translating fashion aesthetics into medallic art. The stylized female figure is rendered in a flat, graphic manner, with bold color blocks and textile-inspired patterns resembling modern fabric prints. The minimalist facial features and dynamic posture evoke fashion illustration rather than traditional numismatic portraiture. By combining color application, abstraction, and fashion symbolism, the coin bridges the worlds of visual art, design, and cultural identity, positioning fashion as a significant form of artistic expression within modern Latvian culture.
