| Reverse description | The reverse features a dynamic high-relief depiction of two track cyclists in racing position, shown in close competition on a velodrome surface that curves across the lower portion of the field. The athletes are rendered in fine detail, helmeted and crouched low over their bicycles. The curved legend SIDNEJA · 2000 · OLIMPISKĀS SPĒLES arcs along the upper rim, referencing the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. The denomination 1 LATS is inscribed in two lines at the lower centre of the field beneath the cyclists. |

| Additional information |
Latvia's national cycling program had little international profile in 1999, making this issue more of a general Olympic sport promotion than a celebration of domestic achievement. The late 1990s saw Latvijas Banka actively building a commemorative series tied to Sydney 2000, and track cycling was among the disciplines selected to anchor that program.
Mintage for KM#44 was capped at 5,000 pieces — modest even by small-nation commemorative standards.
