In Latvian mythology, the golden horse symbolizes the sun’s divine power and seasonal renewal. This coin’s design, created by Ivars Heinrihsons, draws inspiration from Latvian folk songs, the golden Latvian sea, and the ancient Greek myth of Poseidon’s horses. Gold, associated with the sun, radiance, and divinity, embodies the cultural heritage of Latvia and its peoples.
