Latvia 5 Lati 1929 to 1932

These are pretty, large silver coins minted by the First Republic of Latvia (1918 to 1939). They contain 0.671 troy ounces of silver and, at today's silver prices, that's not too shabby. (Note: the price of silver changes every day. Look it up on web sites such as Kitco.com.)

Here are some approximate catalog values for these coins. As always on CoinQuest, you must convert these inflated catalog values to actual buy and sell values by applying the concepts outlined on our Terminology page. The values below apply to all dates equally.

The coin in our picture is in beautiful shape, with almost no wear, plenty of mint luster, and lots of pzazz. Any collector would be proud to have it in his or her collection. Coins in conditions like this always garner excellent prices due to the strong demand and limited supply.
