Description:
Obverse
A theme from the title page of the first edition of the "Book of High Wisdom on the World and Nature" (1774) by Gotthard Friedrich Stender (1714–1796) is a central motif: a pastor is showing a boy how full of wonders this world is. At the top on the left, there are semi-circled inscriptions 2014 and LATVIJA.
Reverse
The reverse of the coin features the progressive idea of the world, the heliocentric concept of the universe. The image comprises the inscriptions "G. F. Stender" and "Latwis". Above it, there are semi-circled inscriptions VECAIS STENDERS (Old Stender) on the left and "5 euro" slightly on the right.
