On this page we are going to analyze all 2 Euro Commemorative coin of Latvia. There aren’t that many, because although Latvia has been a member of the European Union since 2004, it only adopted the Euro in 2014.
One of the peculiarities is that they have no mint marks, the minting however took place in the German locations of Stuttgart and Karlsruhe.
The knurled edge of all coins is inscribed with the words: DIEVS* * * SVĒTĪ* * * LATVIJU* * *.
But let’s start our analysis by just saying that all Latvian 2-euro coins are now worth around €3. With the exception of one that has a higher value, let’s see which one.
