Subject of the commemorative coin:
Sunflower of Ukraine

Description:
The coin features a sunflower, one of the national symbols of Ukraine, as the country is one of the largest producers and exporters of sunflower oil in the world. Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, the sunflower has become a global symbol of peace. Sunflowers were first used as a symbol of peace in the summer of 1996, when they were planted at a military base near Pervomaysk, about 250 kilometres south of the capital Kyiv. Today, sunflowers are used worldwide as a symbol of peace and support for Ukraine. At the top of the coin, in semi-circle, is the inscription “SLAVA UKRAINAI!” (Glory to Ukraine), and at the bottom, also in semi-circle, is the name of the issuing country “LATVIJA”, followed by the year of issuance “2023”. The design was created by Latvian artist Krišs Salmanis. The outer ring of the coin features the 12 stars of the European flag.
