Description:
Obverse
The coat of arms of Ventspils (Windau), which was adopted in 1925, is featured in the centre. To highlight the importance of Ventspils in trade between the East and the West, two fragmented bands with ethnographic ornaments of various cultures are placed to the right and left of the central motif. The year 2000 is inscribed right below the coat of arms. The inscriptions WINDAU and 1 LATS, each arranged in a semicircle, are respectively above and beneath the central motif.
Reverse
A stretch of sea waves divides the coin's reverse in two parts. The Venta Castle, topped by the inscription VENTSPILS arranged in a semicircle, is depicted in the upper part. The reflection of a Hanseatic ship is featured in the lower part. The inscription HANZAS PILSETA (Hanseatic city) is placed in a semicircle beneath it.
