Russia's invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022 changed the course of the world's history and deeply shattered all of us. Ukraine continues fighting for its freedom as well as for the values of Western civilization, thus also for our values. The coin is a reminder that one should not grow tired and tolerate what is happening in Ukraine. The freedom of Ukraine is a shared responsibility.

On the obverse of the coin, the Ukrainian word “ВОЛЯ” is depicted in two rows. To the left of the main motif are the words in Latvian “BRĪVĪBA VARA GRIBA” (freedom, will, strength). To the right of the main motive is the inscription “LATVIJA UKRAINE”.

The reverse of the coin depicts a bird with a gilded star in its beak. The inscription “5 EURO” on the left, the year “2022” at the bottom.

The coin has not only symbolic, but also practical meaning. The income received by the Latvian bank from each sold coin will be transferred to Ukraine.
