Latvijas Banka issues a gold coin set 'Golden Seeds'

On Thursday, 2 July, Latvijas Banka will issue a unique set of gold collector coins "Golden Seeds". The coin set consists of five identical seed-shaped gold coins secured in one case. 

The original design and concept of the coins were created by artist Artūrs Analts. His previous coin – the "Honey Coin" – received the first prize in the most prestigious global coin competition in 2020 – the Coin of the Year. 

A seed is not merely a beginning. It is an opportunity coded into a small and fragile shape. It embodies the future that is still to become. It is silent, but strong, full of potential. However, it cannot realise its potential alone. It requires soil, water, light, time, and care. Nothing flourishes in isolation, development is always driven by multiple processes. They take place between us: in our relationships, balance, and environment, where we choose to live and to care.

A seed harbours silent, persistent resilience. Each seed planted is an act of faith. It symbolises potential that exists even at times, when circumstances no longer nurture it, when the world seems isolated or exhausted. It is a choice for the benefit of the future. Caring for a seed means showing concern, acting when unclarity and lack of safety still linger. It is a small, but powerful gesture for life, for growth, and for development, for the future that we not only anticipate, but shape together.

Golden seeds are small, but they stand for everything: opportunities, responsibility, and hope. And perhaps that is their greatest power: to remind us that humble beginnings can become a world, if we choose to care for them. Not tomorrow, not later, but now.

The gold collector coin set will be available for purchase on the website e-monetas.lv/en from 12:00 (noon) on 2 July. The price of the coin set is EUR 425.00; the purchase limit for one buyer – 2 sets. Maximum mintage is 2500 sets, each set consisting of five seed-shaped coins. The coins can be purchased only as a set. The coins were struck by Lietuvos monetų kalykla in Lithuania.
