The reverse of two-euro coin features the Freedom Monument whose construction was financed from the donations of the Latvian people and whose three stars symbolize the unity of the Latvian regions and have served as a guiding light for the nation throughout World War II and occupation years. The symbolism is rendered even more profound by the circle of European Union stars that protect the monument on the coin.
The folk maiden depicted on the one-euro coin is a symbol of both traditional virtue and Latvian national currency, for it was this same portrait that adorned the reverse of the silver five-lats coin designed for the newly independent Latvian state by Rihards Zarins in the 1920s. This coin would become a guarded treasure during occupation and in exile and the issuance of its smaller replica in gold for the "World's Smallest Coins" series after Latvia regained independence marked the tenth anniversary of the restoration of the national currency.
The symbol of statehood gained and regained in the 20th century adorns the euro cent coins. The 50-, 20- and 10-euro-cent coins feature the great coat of arms of Latvia.
The 5-, 2- and 1-euro-cent coins feature the small coat of arms of Latvia.
Bank of Latvia's coin design commission chose artists for creating the models for the actual coins. The graphic design for the 1- and 2-euro coins was created by Guntars Sietins and the euro cent design by Laimonis Senbergs.
After the compliance of the design models for the Latvian euro coins to the European legislation is approved by the Euro Coins Subcommittee of the Economic and Financial Council (ECOFIN), euro coins with the Latvian national side will be struck and issued in accordance with the Latvian national euro introduction plan and the EU Council Resolution on the accession of the Republic of Latvia to the euro area.

IMO pretty classy coins. Not too busy (Slovenia) but also not too simple (Estonia). Can't wait for Latvia to join the Eurozone.
) It would be a tough race to get them here in italy once they'll be out!!! 
I went there by motorhome from Milan and it took no longer than 3 days. We drove till Rostock, in northern Germany, and then took one of those regular ships which sail from there to Ventspils (in Latvia) several times a week. You'll not enjoy the company on that sail, but it's not expensive at all.
