Latvia Map and Coat of Arms, Block of 6

Latvia · 1992 · 5 Rubli

This block of six stamps features a stylized map of Latvia with its major cities and rivers. The design is repeated across the stamps, with the national coat of arms prominently displayed in the selvage at the top. The denomination is 5 Rubli, reflecting the currency in use during the transitional period after regaining independence.

Issued in 1992, this stamp is from the early period of Latvia's restored independence from the Soviet Union. The use of national symbols like the map and coat of arms was a powerful assertion of sovereignty.
