The Bank of Latvia issued a collector coin translucent. Its denomination is 5 Euro, but it will be sold for 85 euros.
The coin consists of three parts. Outside — a silver ring; in the middle — transparent ceramics (spinel) brand Perlucor; in the centre is a model of the Earth in sterling silver.
The idea of “Earth” won the competition for the most innovative coin of the Euro, which in 2015 held the Bank of Latvia.
