10 Latu

Latvia's 10 Latu was part of the second-generation lats series introduced after the country re-established its currency following independence — the lats itself had been resurrected in 1993 after a fifty-year Soviet-imposed absence. This 2000-dated note was issued well into that restoration period, by which point the Latvijas Banka had built a stable, internationally respected currency before the eventual euro adoption in 2014 ended the lats entirely.

P#50 is relatively straightforward as a modern issue, with no significant printing variants or documented error runs. Surviving examples are common; the series was never subject to emergency withdrawal or wartime disruption.
