A grazing Latvian Brown Swiss cow, symbolizing the milk production in Latvia in the folk tradition and in real life.The same design was also featured on Lats, the old Latvian currency. The motif is accompanied by the issuing year '2016' and, at the bottom of the inner circle, the name of the issuing country "LATVIJA". In the ring of the coin crown include the twelve stars of the European flag.

A geographical map of Western Europe spans the outer ring and inner core on the right side of the coin. The inscription 2 EURO is superimposed over the map of Europe, with the numeral “2” located in an open field representing the eastern Atlantic Ocean.

12 stars are located on the right side of the outer ring, with six stars atop the map of Europe and six stars below it; six vertical stripes cut across the inner core of the coin, visually connecting the upper and lower star segments.

Luc Luycx, a designer at the Royal Mint of Belgium, designed the Euro’s common reverse; his initials, LL, are seen on the right side of the design, just under the “O” in “EURO.”

Dievs, svētī Latviju! (God, Bless Latvia!) is the national anthem of Latvia. The words and music were written by Kārlis Baumanis (1834–1904).
