Gilded Silver Coin 5 euro Latvia 2026 – Chestnut

The “Chestnut” coin is dedicated to one of the most recognizable and beloved symbols of Latvian nature, deeply ingrained in local culture, literature, and art. This unusual issue is conceived as a true modern talisman: it has long been believed that carrying a chestnut in one’s pocket brings good luck and protection from misfortune. The new coin is intended to embody all the positive properties of this tree, combining the warmth of nature with the mastery of minting.

The key feature of this issue is its unique, irregular shape, which mimics the natural contours of a real chestnut. The design skillfully imitates the fruit, complete with its spiky protective shell, while the chestnut core itself is exquisitely gilded. The coin also bears the denomination and year of issue.
