The Ethnographic Open-air Museum of Latvia ranks among Europe's oldest and largest museums of its kind, and it houses Latvia's oldest wooden architectural treasures. Since its inception in 1924, the museum has upheld its mission to preserve historical heritage for future generations throughout the ages. This heritage encompasses evidence detailing the architectural features and domestic items, shedding light on construction techniques and the traditional layout of homesteads belonging to peasants and fishermen, spanning a timeline from the 17th century to the mid-20th century.
The obverse depicts a woman mixing dough in a bread trough with a mixing paddle. Above is an image of a spinning wheel and the inscription LATVIJAS ETNOGRĀFISKAIS BRĪVDABAS MUZEJS (The Ethnographic Open-Air Museum of Latvia). On both sides are historic tools and household objects such as a fish basket, a spoon board with spoons and a flour scoop, a distaff, a bread-shovel and a washboard.
The reverse shows a man carving a trough with a pickaxe and above him is an ornate horse-collar. To the left is a hand drill along with a broad-blade axe and a spoke-shave, and on the right is a hand scythe, a hand rake and a grain shovel.
