Silver Coin 2021 Latvia (5 €) – “Coin of Luck – Lilac Flower”

A lilac flower with five petals is one of the Latvian symbols of luck. As the local tradition has it, when finding a five-petal flower, one should make a wish and eat the flower or dry it and keep it at hand – between the pages of a book, in the pocket or wallet.

Unlike a real five-petal lilac flower, the coin should not be eaten. nstead, it should be given as a gift or kept for oneself so that its owner always holds the energy of luck. It should only be gently held in one’s fingertips every now and then to bring luck for yourself, your loved ones and the public at large. If you also hold the chimney-sweep and horseshoe coins in your collection, consider your luck to be threefold!

Reverse: A lilac branch with the inscription LATVIJA located in a semicircle above it on the left, and in a semicircle 2021 on the right below.
