The coin, repeating the fibula \u201cdisc\u201d of the 3rd\u20134th centuries, is the first in a series of gold collectible euro coins dedicated to Latvian brooches and the country\u2019s centenary. Brooches appeared in the jewelry sets of Latvian residents at a time when the territory of the Eastern Baltic and its inhabitants were first mentioned in written history.
\nBrooches were used to fasten and decorate clothing by everyone – men, women and children. The shape and ornament of the brooch also served as a talisman. The fibula disk, a unique find at the Dzelzava cemetery, is cast in bronze, like all brooches of that time. The brooch is made using openwork technique. The openwork on the surface of the disk forms a complex geometric pattern, symbolizing the sun and continuity.<\/p>\n
