Book on coin design looks at 30 years of Latvian currency art
Art historian Ramona Umblia has written a book, Naudasgrāmata, about 30 years of Latvian coin design. She describes the coins as stories of Latvia's heart captured in silver and gold.
Art historian Ramona Umblia is the author of Naudasgrāmata, which translates as "The Book of Money". It deals with the design of Latvia's national currency, specifically its coins.
The book covers a 30-year history. Coin design is a relatively young field in Latvian art, and the publication treats this period as a distinct stage in the development of that area.
Umblia speaks of Latvian currency design in poetic terms, calling it "stories of the hearts of Latvia, captured in silver and gold". This is how she characterises the images and themes that appear on the coins.
The source report gives no further details about the book's contents, publication date or publisher.
