The Bank of Latvia has prepared for us a new coin for next Wednesday, November 24, which will be issued under the name of "Lucky Coin", in which a lilac flower formed by five petals is represented with which, according to them , luck will be with us.
The message that the currency wants to convey to us is that luck can arrive completely accidentally. However, unlike fortune, it requires that opportunities be seized when they present themselves. Sometimes fortune is just a fluke, as it simply touches us without making any effort.
Be that as it may, luck is not a coincidence. A lilac flower with five petals is one of the Latvian symbols of luck. According to local tradition, when you find a flower with five petals, you have to make a wish and eat the flower or dry it and keep it handy: between the pages of a book, in your pocket or in your purse.
Lilacs are commonly associated with good luck in love and a successful future. They are reflected in the fine arts of the second half of the 19th century (Lilacs in a window, by Mary Cassatt; White lilacs in a glass vase, by Édouard Manet), of the first half of the 20th century (Lilacs, by Mikhail Vrubel ; Lilas, by Henri Matisse; Lovers in the Lilacs, by Marc Chagall) and from the late 20th and 21st centuries (a series of lilac paintings by the Latvian artist Īra Rozentāle, 2000-2002).
The common lilac (Syringa vulgaris) is believed to have been introduced to Europe in the mid-16th century, when it was brought from Turkey. It appeared on the territory of present-day Latvia in the second half of the 18th century: first around manor houses and later also around country houses. Due to their fragrance and diversity of colors, lilacs became popular ornamental shrubs in the second half of the 19th century and especially in the early 20th century. Today it is difficult to find a place in Latvia without lilacs. In just a few centuries, they have become an important part of the country's cultural landscape.
In the center of the obverse of the coin there is a five-petal lilac flower printed in lilac. The number 5 is shown above the flower and the EURO inscription appears in a semicircular below the flower.
The reverse shows a lilac panicle, with the inscription "LATVIJA" arranged in a semicircle above it on the left side, while the year of issue "2021" appears in the semicircle on the lower right.
