This coin is dedicated to Marta Staņa, a distinguished architect known for her work in the Latvian modernist style.

The Dailes Theatre building is her most notable realized work, whereas many other of her projects have remained unrealized. In her role as a teacher, she has inspired many up-and-coming artists, designers, and other creative professionals.

The obverse features fragments of Marta Staņa's project sketches: in the centre – Dailes Theatre in Riga with a yellow print in the background, below it – the roof of Rēzekne open air stage (unrealized), on the left – a facade fragment of a residential building at Brīvības iela 313, Riga, on the right – a wooden shape.

The reverse also has fragments of Marta Staņa's unrealised project sketches: in the centre – a viewing tower on Gaiziņkalns with a blue print in the background, below it and on the right – fragments of Budapest National Theatre sketches (stairs and columns), on the left – a wooden shape.
