Latvia

2016

This Latvian 5 euro coin dedicated to National Entrepreneurship represents a bold departure from traditional circular coin design. Shaped as a multi-faceted geometric form, the coin visually references a cut gemstone, symbolizing value creation, innovation, and economic potential. One side incorporates a QR code, directly linking physical numismatics with the digital world and modern business ecosystems. The combination of unconventional shape, industrial surface textures, and digital integration positions this coin as a clear example of design experimentation, reflecting Latvia’s focus on innovation, entrepreneurship, and forward-thinking economic identity.
