To honour the 100th anniversary of the Republic of Latvia Latvijas Banka organized an open coin design contest for children. The motto of the contest was «My Latvia», and over 10 000 drawings were presented by 6 742 participants. The winner of the contest was Elizabete Kandere, a 10-year old schoolgirl. The image of the Sun in her drawing is enhanced with monumentality and uniqueness via its spontaneous modernism and sincere well-wishing «May Latvia live and prosper forever!”.
