"Hedgehog's Coat" – a new coin added to the Fairy Tale Series
18.04.2016
On Tuesday, 19 April, Latvijas Banka is issuing a new 5 euro silver collector coin – "Fairy Tale Coin II. Hedgehog's Coat".

The graphic design of "Fairy Tale Coin II. Hedgehog's Coat" has been created by Gundega Muzikante, and the author of the plaster model is Ligita Franckeviča. For G. Muzikante, a celebrated children's book illustrator, this is her debut in coin art.

This coin of a special oval shape is struck by UAB Lietuvos monetų kalykla (Lithuania). Its obverse features a princess carrying a hedgehog in her apron, while the reverse shows a herd of swine, led by a hedgehog, and a fragment of an ethnographic building.

This is the second coin in a special collector coin series dedicated to the most dearly loved and significant Latvian fairy tales. The first one honouring the fairy tale about five cats was issued last year and has become highly popular.

The price of the coin at Latvijas Banka Cashier's Offices is 39 euro. As of 19 April, it will be on sale at Latvijas Banka Cashier's Offices (K. Valdemāra iela 1B in Riga and Teātra iela 3 in Liepāja).
