Description:

Obverse

The coin "Rihards Vāgners" issued by the Bank of Latvia is a dedication to the composer on the occasion of the 200th anniversary since his birth and a memorial to his active life period in Riga when he began work at his first important opera "Rienzi", taking away the solutions dictated by the limitations of what is now known as Wagner Hall (the seating arrangement with an incline to improve visibility, an unlit auditorium and lit stage as well as the deeper orchestra pit) as innovations for the Bayreuth theatre.

In the centre of obverse, there is a sailing ship in the billowing sea, with semi-circled inscription 1 LATS on the right and the year 2013 at bottom left.

Reverse

Reverse features Richard Wagner's portrait in profile in the centre, his facsimile signature at bottom left, and a semi-circled inscription RĪGA and the years 1837–1839 on the right.
