The silver ribbon on the obverse of the coin is engraved with the shining word LATVIA in a style consistent with the Latvian script. The granite core of the coin and the rays of the rising sun symbolize the joy of life and faith in solidity.
A rich range of shades of granite is feldspar, quartz and colored minerals.
The reverse of the coin in the form of a washer made of speckled granite, like a silver belt, surrounds a frame with Latvian inscriptions. The circular arrangement of these signs demonstrates strict dynamics and programming: everything develops from simple to complex. The idea of ​​the motif in the development of the article is borrowed from the legendary Lielvarde belt, which is included in the canon of Latvian culture. In Latvian folklore, the belt is credited with magical abilities to protect and ensure the fertility of both nature and man. The weaving of the Midsummer Day belt on the eve of Midsummer Day probably symbolized the restoration of order in earthly life.

The name of the coin takes us back to prehistoric times, to the Stone Age, when rocks (including granite), thrown out of the bowels of the earth as a result of the great process of restructuring in Europe, cooled down and formed the mantle and the earth's crust. crust. In Latvia, these rocks lie deep and protect them from strong earthquakes, so we can say that we have a solid foundation under our feet.
Icing from Scandinavia was gradually pushed down to the south, and uncut large stones were brought to Latvia, the most expensive of which are called boulders.
Stones were often given a special energy.
The stone has always occupied an important place in the daily life and work of the Latvian farmstead. It was the cornerstone or cornerstone in the construction of the house, millstones were an eternal tool, but the granite pavement also covers the romantic streets of the old city. In the mentality of the Baltic peoples, stone has always had a deeply symbolic meaning - eternity and timelessness. On the other hand, the close connection of the word granite with the eternal meaning of farmers (lat. granum - grain) makes us think about the various manifestations of the harvest. This time, granite expands the boundaries of monetary art.
