This official mint set issued by Latvia features all eight of the circulating euro coins, as well as the commemorative 2 euro coin "Puzuris".

Puzuris is one of the oldest known Winter Solstice decorations in Latvia. Traditionally made from hollow straw, puzuris is made from twelve segments, possibly representing the twelve months of the year. It hangs from the ceiling suspended only by a thin thread, and both visually and symbolically represents the world and "wholeness". Crafted from very light materials, it sways at the slightest breath of wind with a constant slow movement that is believed to scare away evil spirits.

The design of the circulating Latvian euro coins features three separate designs, namely the Latvian maiden, which is found on the 1 and 2 euro coins, the greater Coat of arms of Latvia on the 10, 20 and 50-cent coins, and the lesser Coat of arms of Latvia on the 1, 2 and 5-cent coins.
