LATVIA. 5 Lati, 1929. London Mint. NGC PROOF-61.

Dav-214; KM-9. By all accounts this issue is EXCEEDINGLY RARE in this striking format, with a mintage not even hinted at in The Standard Catalog of World Coins. Only one example of this date has been recorded by NGC, and PCGS likewise records only one, with both being encapsulated as PROOF-61. This piece gives argent surfaces and a somewhat matted surfaces. Hairlines are evident accounting for the grade, but these are not so distracting as to revoke any of the beauty of the special strike.
