Krause - Mishler	KM# 157
Details	The folk maiden depicted on the one-euro coin is a symbol of both traditional virtue and Latvian national currency, for it was this same portrait that adorned the reverse of the silver five-lats coin designed for the newly independent Latvian state by Rihards Zarins in the 1920s. The young Latvian woman is portrayed with braided hair, a crown and ears of corn thrown over her shoulder. The latter was meant to be symbolic of Latvian culture which was strongly influenced by agriculture. Originally, it was planned that Freedom Monument would be featured on the 2 euro coin, but the original design did not meet the regulations of the ECB since it reached out into the ring of the coin and changed one of the stars.
