| Additional information |
Latvia's 100 Latu commemorative program of the 1990s was closely tied to the country's post-Soviet economic reconstruction, with the Bank of Latvia using bullion issues partly to establish international credibility for the restored lats — a currency that had been suppressed for over five decades of Soviet occupation before its reintroduction in 1993.
