Latvia - 2€ Euro commemorative coin 2016 - The Latvian Brown cow. (uncirculated coin from roll)
For long, cows have been important not only for the country's economy but also as an integral part of the countryside routine. The Latvian Brown, which is the main breed of dairy cows in Latvia, is a productive and resilient animal of relatively low maintenance and long life span, well-adapted to the local climate. The human eye is pleased to spot one when lazily browsing a field or rural scenery. The poet Imants Ziedonis who played an important role in formulating philosophical imaginary of the designs on the renewed lats banknotes and coins, has poetically represented the interrelation between the human and cow's life cycle:
And while a wee brown calf
trundles through a brown cow,
you too have time
to till the future now.
