In Latvia, honey plays a special role. Together with the industrious bees, it is widely present in folk songs; It is an important food product, traditional medicine and cosmetics. Citizens who are busy in their daily lives, like bees, fill their country like bees fill a hive. Therefore, the Honey Coin is a symbol of hard work and the sweetness of labor. Bees also play an important role in maintaining biodiversity, and their presence is an indicator of the health of the environment.
\nThe honeycomb cells form an approximate outline of the geographical outline of Latvia and the Gulf of Riga. To achieve this effect, various metal processing methods were used. The shape of the coin is unique: several coins can be placed side by side like puzzle pieces to build an even larger honeycomb, just like bees do in their hive.
\nThe Honey Coin won the “Coin of the Year” award in the 2019 International Coin Competition among more than 1,000 coins released in 2018.<\/p>\n
